San Francisco, We’re Coming for You: Meet Command Zero During RSAC 2026

The Command Zero team is heading to San Francisco for the 2026 RSA Conference to discuss the future of security operations, cyber investigations, and agentic AI. If you are arriving early, catch Co-Founder and CTO Dean De Beer at BSidesSF on Saturday discussing the evolving AI reality for blue teams. On Monday, Co-Founder and CEO Dov Yoran will speak at the AGC Partners Cybersecurity Conference about the operational impact of AI. Beyond the show floor, we also recommend checking out the Sentra Women in Security documentary premiere, the Consortium networking party, and the Insight Partners ScaleUp Club event. We look forward to connecting in the city!

The energy in San Francisco during the RSA Conference is always electric, and this year, the discussions are more critical than ever. The Command Zero team is gearing up for an incredible week of conversations centered around the future of security operations, cyber investigations, and the transformative power of AI.

If you are heading to town early for the RSAC festivities, we would love to connect. Our founders are taking the stage at two premier events to dive deep into how agentic AI and modern architectural shifts are reshaping the landscape for defenders.

Be sure to add these must-attend sessions to your calendar:

BSidesSF: Architecting the Modern SOC – The Evolving AI Reality for Blue Teams

Empowering blue teams requires more than just new tools; it demands a fundamental shift in how we architect the SOC. Command Zero Co-Founder and CTO, Dean De Beer, will be joining a powerhouse panel to discuss the practical realities of integrating AI into frontline defense.

  • Panelists: Bryan Fite, Nicole Grinstead, Swathi Joshi, and Dean De Beer (Co-Founder & CTO, Command Zero)
  • When: Saturday, March 21 | 3:45 PM - 4:30 PM PDT
  • Where: BSides San Francisco

AGC Partners' 2026 Cybersecurity Conference: Impact of AI on Security

As AI continues to dominate the cybersecurity conversation, cutting through the noise to find real, operational impact is essential. Command Zero Co-Founder and CEO, Dov Yoran, will be sitting down with industry leaders to explore the broader implications of AI on security strategies, threat hunting, and enterprise resilience.

  • Panelists: Diana Kelley, Ron Williams (Kindo), Or Sagy, and Dov Yoran (Co-Founder & CEO, Command Zero)
  • When: Monday, March 23 | 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM PDT
  • Where: The City Club of San Francisco (Floor 9 Grand Salon)

Other Must-Attend Community Events

RSAC is all about the power of community, and the learning doesn't stop on the show floor. If you are looking to expand your network, check out these excellent industry events happening throughout the week:

  • Women in Security Documentary Premiere: Command Zero is a proud sponsor of this premiere. Step away from the trade show floor and head over to the AMC Metreon to catch the premiere of this important documentary highlighting women in the security industry. (Showings from Tuesday, March 24 at 5:00 PM through Wednesday, March 25. Register here).
  • Consortium RSAC 2026 Party: Enjoy elevated networking and real conversations with the Consortium and Cyera teams. (Wednesday, March 25 | 6:00 PM at Alchemist Bar & Lounge. Invite-only, please reach out to our team).
  • Insight Partners ScaleUp Club Party: Cap off your RSA week at one of the hottest networking parties of the conference. (Wednesday, March 25 | 7:00 PM at 111 Minna Gallery. We have limited invitations still available, please reach out to our team).
  • Cloud Security Alliance: OpenClaw and Moltbook - This expert-led session featuring Rich Mogull, Caleb Sima, John Yeoh, Dean de Beer, and Gadi Evron will break down what these agentic systems actually do, why they introduce entirely new risk categories, and what organizations must do now to restore visibility and control. SPIN in San Francisco on March 25 from 12:30–2:30 PM. Register here.

Let’s Connect in SF

Whether you want to debate the finer points of architecting an AI-driven SOC, explore how agentic AI can accelerate complex cyber investigations, or just say hi to Al, Dean and Dov, we want to hear from you.

Want to meet one-on-one with the Command Zero team during RSAC? We have a limited number of times still available.  Reach out to us here to schedule some time.

See you soon in San Francisco!

The AI SOC Prototype Trap: Why 95% of Custom Implementations Fail

While we often see impressive prototypes built in days, the reality of deploying them into production is far messier. But teams constantly underestimate the engineering required for complex context assembly from millions of log entries and the necessary reliability verification. Furthermore, operational costs can scale unpredictably. One of the biggest threats is the "hero developer" problem. When the single AI expert leaves, the custom system quickly degrades and gets abandoned. With eCrime breakout times dropping to just 48 minutes, organizations simply cannot afford to debug failing homegrown tools. Ultimately, investing in a proven platforms like Command Zero provides a much better result than exhausting the SOC’s limited engineering capacity.

The Blind Spot at the Front Door: Why Identity-Hopping Attackers Are Invisible to Legacy SOCs

We are seeing a massive shift: instead of hacking into your networks, intruders simply log in. You should note that identity weaknesses now drive nearly 90% of our investigations. Furthermore, you will face multi-surface intrusions 87% of the time, demanding constant vigilance. Your legacy security architectures simply cannot connect these dots fast enough because you suffer from visibility gaps and ingestion delays. Meanwhile, exfiltration now happens in just 72 minutes. To defend your infrastructure, we engineered our federated platform to investigate exactly where your data already lives. You no longer need to centralize telemetry or wait on slow data lakes. Instead, you can ask natural-language questions, and our AI orchestrates the queries across your environment. We empower your analysts to track these cross-surface threats at machine speed, turning hours of manual correlation into just minutes.

The Backwards Promise of Agentic AI for Alert Fatigue

Relying on AI solely to speed up alert triage is a flawed approach to solving alert fatigue. While AI-assisted triage provides genuine relief to exhausted analysts, it merely treats the symptom rather than the underlying disease. The core issue in most security environments is not the raw volume of alerts, but the overwhelming noise generated by poorly designed and outdated detection rules. Organizations frequently add new rules without ever retiring old ones, resulting in a system where alerts constantly fire without actionable value. Using AI to automatically close these low-priority alerts creates a "treadmill" effect; the AI works faster, but the fundamental detection posture never actually improves. To truly solve alert fatigue, organizations must turn triage into a feedback loop, using investigation context to tune, fix, or permanently retire noisy detections at their source.
