Redwood City, Calif. – May 25, 2022 – Open Systems, the only cybersecurity services provider with Mission Control, today announced that it will be joining Microsoft at the upcoming RSA Conference (RSAC) 2022, June 6-9, in San Francisco.

“Being one of the four MISA partners to join Microsoft in a theatre session at RSA – the cybersecurity industry’s premiere conference – is a tremendous honor,” said Geoff Haydon, CEO of Open Systems. “This invitation acknowledges our close partnership and demonstrated Microsoft Security expertise, which was highlighted by the recent announcement that Open Systems was an initial Design Partner invited by Microsoft to help co-innovate the development of the new Microsoft Security Experts.”
