Data is moving faster and at higher volumes than ever before. With so much being communicated, the need for tighter cybersecurity is at an all-time high. Encryption is one of the top tools cyber experts use to secure their systems, with crypto agile encryption helping to enhance data protection as it’s on the move. 

Together with quantum computing, crypto agile encryption’s automation capabilities are game changers in the movement toward enhanced data protection. To help leaders better understand how these work together, quantum and data security experts QuintessenceLabs' Vice President of EMEA Gilles Trachsel and PKWARE’s APAC Regional Sales Director Matt Mackender will co-host a joint webinar on February 23, 2023. 

They will explore the following:
- What is crypto agility?
- How can you adopt crypto agility into your cybersecurity strategy? 
- How can you better protect data on the move? 

Don’t miss your chance to ask questions and learn from the best as they pave the way for a post-quantum world. Sign up today!

Crypto Agile Encryption, Wherever Your Data Moves

APIs are ripe and juicy targets for cybercriminals, and loaded with attack traffic that is invisible unless you have effective API security. APIs now consume as much as 60% of all internet bandwidth, but many of them have weak security architecture, which opens the door to data breaches, ransomware, malware, DDoS attacks, and other cyber threats.

Enterprises commonly don’t know how many APIs they have or which ones are dormant. Their APIs are like black boxes, leaving enterprises with a problem: they can’t protect what they can’t see.

Join this webinar to learn how cybercriminals are exploiting APIs, why the lack of visibility into API traffic is a serious problem for enterprises, and what you and your team should do now to mitigate risk. Presented by industry researcher and analyst Richard Stiennon, and API security expert Rob Dickenson, founder of Resurface Labs.

The Latest Trends in API Security: Learn How to Stay Ahead of Attackers

Quantum risk is the threat of capable quantum computers upending cryptographic methods, such as RSA or elliptical curve algorithms, widely used today for securing information flows through communication networks. A sufficiently capable quantum adversary would be able to decrypt sensitive data in short order disrupting the trust in the digital systems that increasingly undergird our society.

Join us to learn: 
What is quantum risk and when will it impact my organization?
How does encrypted data provide a false sense of security?
How to protect against a “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attack 
How threat actors can use quantum computer to decrypt your data
 
Buckle up as we start your journey into quantum risk and understanding the coming storm.

Quantum Risk Is Here Now. Are You Ready?
