RSAC 2026 will be full of vendor pitches, product demos, and buzzword bingo.

‍

We're showing up with a different question: Can you explain what happens when the next attack gets through?

‍

Because in 2026, that's what puts CISO jobs at risk. Not having an incident. Having one you couldn't see, couldn't contain, and can't credibly explain to the board.

‍

We're hosting the Zero-Impact Suite at The Palace Hotel (March 23-26) for cloud security leaders who need to answer that question with confidence. And our CTO and Co-founder Ofer Maor is presenting three sessions on real cloud and SaaS breaches, attacker tradecraft, and what it takes to prevent impact at scale.

‍

Bottom line, this is all about whether you can withstand the next breach politically, reputationally, and financially.

‍

‍

The Real Cost of Inaction in 2026

‍

Look at your security roadmap right now. Somewhere on it, decisions keep getting deferred.

‍

On paper, waiting sounds reasonable. In practice, "no decision" is your decision. You're deciding to keep operating without real-time visibility across cloud, SaaS, AI, and identity. To bet that luck and legacy posture-based prevention will outrun stolen credentials and AI-enabled threat actors.

‍

That's the cost of inaction. It may seem like you're delaying a project, but no. You're accepting unbounded incident impact.

‍

‍

What CISOs Actually Get Fired For

‍

Everyone has an incident. Attackers ultimately get in. CISOs aren’t going to lose their jobs because they had one incident.

‍

No, they lose their jobs because:

‍

They got blindsided by something they should have seen coming.

‍

It could be a misconfigured cloud asset, an exploited third-party app, or an abused shadow AI model that was "somebody else's problem" until it wasn't.

‍

But in the end, they couldn't answer basic questions.

‍

• What exactly happened?
• What did it touch?
• How long did it last?
• How did we contain it?
• What was the impact?

‍

They communicated on guesses over evidence.

‍

Board updates filled with "we think" and "we're still investigating," followed by corrections a week later as the story shifts.

‍

They couldn't prove learning.

‍

A second, similar incident exposes that the organization never fixed the root cause or improved detection and response.

‍

The common thread: lack of visibility and forensic context to manage and stop impact.

‍

Why AI-Driven Cloud Attacks Change the Stakes

‍

Three forces are colliding in 2026:

‍

SaaS sprawl: Hundreds of apps across CRM, HR, finance, and dev tools. Each with its own admins, permissions, and APIs. Core business processes now live in platforms your SOC can't see in real time.

‍

AI infrastructure + AI-enabled adversaries: You're wiring AI into that sprawl! LLMs, copilots, MCP agents, you name it. Meanwhile, attackers use AI to chain reconnaissance, privilege abuse, and exfiltration into automated campaigns.

‍

Identity chaos: Non-human identities now outnumber humans 80:1. Each carries delegated permissions across multiple environments. When one is compromised, tracing the blast radius is nearly impossible without unified visibility.

‍

When 64% of organizations have little confidence handling cloud threats, trying to manage AI-driven attacks with fragmented tools and manual investigation is a gamble.

‍

The New North Star: Zero-Impact

‍

If "zero breach" was the slogan for the last decade, Zero-Impact is the mandate for this one.

‍

You're not going to stop every intrusion. In a cloud/SaaS/AI world, that's either pure fantasy or utter bullshit.

‍

What you can do is design detection, triage, and containment so that when something fails:

‍

• You detect it in seconds or minutes, before it becomes a headline
• You reconstruct the full story across cloud, SaaS, identity, and AI
• You contain and stop business impact before it becomes a board-level event
• You show, with evidence, what happened and what didn't

‍

Zero-Impact Breach Prevention doesn't mean "no attacker ever gets in."

‍

It means: Even when attackers get in, they get nothing that materially harms the business.

‍

That's the outcome your board and CEO will care about in 2026.

‍

What We're Showing at RSAC

The Zero-Impact Suite at The Palace Hotel

‍

Step away from the expo hall noise into a focused environment built for real conversations. And, no, we’re not going to scan your badge.

‍

In our suite, you can:

‍

• Experience the only solution for Zero-Impact Breach Prevention
• See Mitiga's AI-native Cloud Detection and Response platform in action
• Walk through real cloud, SaaS, identity, and AI attack timelines
• Learn how SecOps teams detect, decode, and contain attacks before impact
• Explore how modern SOCs stay ahead with Helios AIDR

‍

Whether you're rethinking posture-based strategies, strengthening detection, or preparing for the next board conversation, this is time well spent.

Three Must-See Sessions from Our CTO

‍

Ofer Maor, Mitiga's co-founder and CTO, is presenting three sessions at RSAC 2026, sharing firsthand insights from real cloud and SaaS breaches and what it takes to prevent impact at scale.

‍

Monday, March 23 | 2:20 PM - 3:10 PM "It's Getting Real & Hitting the Fan 2026: Real World AI(dentity) Attacks" How identity-based attacks are evolving with AI, and what real-world incidents reveal about defending against them.

‍

Wednesday, March 25 | 8:30 AM - 9:20 AM "Flush Worthy or Fight Ready? Catching Attackers in SaaS Logs!" Named one of the Top 10 sessions every program committee wanted at RSAC 2026. Learn how to detect real attacks in SaaS environments using log analysis that actually works.

‍

Wednesday, March 25 | 1:15 PM - 2:05 PM "BOT vs BOT—The AI Battledome" When attackers deploy AI agents and defenders respond with their own, what does that battle actually look like? A technical breakdown of AI-vs-AI security operations.

‍

Attend his sessions, then extend the conversation with a private meeting at our Zero-Impact Suite.

Zero-Impact Doesn't Just Happen

‍

Adding another rule pack or point product won't get you to Zero-Impact.

‍

You get there by building a safety net of Cyber Resilience underneath your security program:

‍

Panoramic Awareness. See everything in one place. Connect cloud, SaaS, identity, and AI ecosystems in a single, always-on forensic system.

‍

Attack Decoding. Automatically build the full story from the panoramic view. Reconstruct logs and actions into an attack timeline revealing what happened, what it means, and where it's headed next.

‍

Attack Containment. Stop active cloud and AI attacks mid-flight autonomously or manually. Stop and reverse damage to ensure zero impact.

‍

This is where Mitiga's AI-native Cloud Detection and Response platform, powered by our Cloud Forensics Data Lake, comes in. Not as another dashboard, but as the engine that turns raw chaos into the context, forensic truth, and breach prevention you'll need on the worst day of your career.

‍

When the CEO texts, "Are we okay?" you don't want to stare at disjointed alerts and incomprehensible logs.

‍

You want a confident, defensible answer: "We're okay. We stopped it and prevented any impact." And, as usually is the case in these situations, “Go back to bed.”

‍

See You in San Francisco

‍

RSAC 2026 will have plenty of booths and plenty of buzzwords promising to solve all your problems.

‍

We're showing up to have the conversation most vendors won't: What happens when your current strategy fails?

‍

Because it will. The question is whether you can contain it.

‍

Join us at the Zero-Impact Suite at The Palace Hotel, March 23-26. Attend Ofer's sessions. See how Zero-Impact Breach Prevention works in real environments facing real attacks.

‍

This whole thing isn't about adding to your stack. It's about whether you can answer the one question that matters when things go wrong.
