Security companies in the news.

Bloomberg reported Monday that two employees of Forest City, California-based SIEM provider Exabeam were diagnosed with COVID-19. Both employees attended RSAC 2020 and may have been at Exabeam's booth. Exabeam stated that "while we cannot confirm whether they contracted COVID-19 prior to, at or after the conference, if you came into contact with our staff, please be vigilant in monitoring yourself for symptoms and follow recommended guidelines to prevent possible infection."

While Exabeam is based in California, one of the patients, a 45-year-old male with underlying health conditions, lives in Connecticut. This individual began experiencing symptoms on February 28th and was hospitalized on March 6th. He is now on a ventilator in a medically induced coma. CNET notes that this case appears to align with the governor of Connecticut's announcement of the state's first positive case, which states that the patient "most likely became infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 during a recent trip to California." RSA stressed in an email to all conference attendees that "To date, no official governing body has communicated with RSA Conference that these individuals had symptoms at the RSA Conference event or attended during the COVID-19 incubation period. We are in contact with the relevant health authorities to provide them with the necessary information to complete their investigation and are following their guidance on how to proceed."

Techmeme has a list of conferences that have been cancelled or postponed due to coronavirus concerns.

The CIA's venture capital firm In-Q-Tel has been investing in 5G technology for seven years, the Washington Times reports. In-Q-Tel's president and CEO Christopher Darby told Congress last month that the firm had settled on New Hampshire-based telecommunications service provider Parallel Wireless as a useful component in the government's strategy to combat Huawei's market dominance.
