The Innovation Sandbox event is a new concept at the RSA Conference. It's a half-day interactive program devoted to highlighting technological breakthroughs and solutions that are designed to help security practitioners tackle emerging security issues facing the industry.

Here are some photos from the event and after that a list of companies that participated. The winner of the Innovation Sandbox is AlertEnterprise.

As you can see from the photos, there was a lot of interest for the presentations and the relaxed atmosphere allowed attendees to get familiar with the products, exchange ideas and network. All in all, the Innovation Sandbox was an excellent idea done right.
