Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast – Episode 150: RSAC 2026 Preview: AI Agents, Q-Day, and Cutting Through the Cybersecurity Noise

In this episode of the Cybersecurity Awesomeness Podcast, Chris Steffen and Ken Buckler gear up for RSAC 2026, where 45,000+ attendees and hundreds of vendors will converge in San Francisco.

From Agentic AI and autonomous security solutions to the growing urgency of Post-Quantum Cryptography, the conversation separates real priorities from industry hype. The hosts explore why AI isn’t a silver bullet, what leaders should actually be securing today, and how organizations can prepare for the coming reality of Q-Day.

They also share practical advice for navigating the show floor, including why the Innovation Sandbox and Early Stage Expo remain must-visit destinations, and why, despite all the technology on display, community and face-to-face connection still deliver the greatest value.

Tune in for insights before heading to RSAC.
