AT&T has become the second big company to withdraw from one of cybersecurity's largest events, the annual RSA Conference, which is set to open next week in San Francisco.San Francisco has no confirmed cases of the virus, but security conference cancellations follow Facebook pulling a marketing summit in the city.
"We value our participation in industry events like RSA and greatly support the measures taken by event organizers to protect attendees. But it is our responsibility to safeguard our employees," AT&T said on Twitter. A company spokesman declined to say more. The San Francisco Department of Public Health said there are no confirmed cases of the virus in the city, noting "however, given the amount of travel between San Francisco and China, we understand a confirmed case in San Francisco is possible." A person's risk depends on travel history, spokeswoman Veronica Vien said.
