@itgrrl not to defend #rsac, they do have a massive counterfeit badge problem, and have received credible physical threats in the past, so I totally get verifying registration name with ID, but agree that the name printed on the badge should not matter at all. Forcing printed name to match gov ID name does way more harm than good. #rsac2026

@spacerog yup, every infosec & adjacent conf that I’ve been to at the bare minimum has an option for some version of “preferred name” to be printed on the badge I would also argue that unless all conf rego staff have been quite well trained in verifying many many forms of government ID then what they’re really doing is just security theatre / legal liability insurance theatre when it comes to countering physical threats
