Three key security trends from RSA Conference 2016 with Chris Richter, senior vice president of global security services at Level 3 Communications.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., March 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA is where the world gathers in San Francisco to talk security. Chris Richter, senior vice president of global security services at Level 3 Communications (LVLT) reveals the industry's most pertinent themes at the 2016 conference. In the video, Richter touches on these topics:

Malware proliferation and the new deception detection technology he likens to "sandboxing on steroids."
Security Costs are escalating. Organizations once spent about three percent of its IT budget on security; now that number is about eight times more. But money doesn't create a silver bullet fix.
Cyber Education and the lack thereof. Humans remain the weakest link for every organization.
