People, process, technology: the road to post-quantum cryptography

A common theme we regularly hear from CISOs is that cryptographic specialists are a sought after resource, hard to retain and expensive. Their skillsets are essential to manage, maintain and evolve the cryptographic systems that we rely on to protect our organisation’s sensitive data, applications or transactions. Cryptographic agility is organisation’s ability to expediently test, deploy and govern new cryptography under best practices, evolving standards and regulation. The ubiquitous classical cryptographic algorithm suites we use today such as RSA have served us well and have remained remarkably stable over the past twenty years. As the power of computers has increased their security was simply strengthened by extending the key length and lifetime to maintain security. Alongside becoming “match fit” at Cryptographic Agility, an accurate Cryptographic Asset inventory is essential in your initial preparations. Entrust will discuss all these aspects in this informative session, where you will learn: • Evidence-backed advice from a Cryptographic technology, governance and compliance expert on how to approach your PQC preparedness • What steps you need to take now to prepare for big changes required to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography • An anticipated ‘game changer’ in the next 6 to 8 years which threatens the integrity and confidentiality of data and transactions
