Cryptographic Discovery in Action

The clock is ticking. Every product sold into Europe after December 11, 2027, must be CRA-compliant. The CRA has dozens of requirements that span a product’s entire lifecycle, from first boot to decommissioning. This means OEMs must design their products to support not only the security of today, but also the security of the future, including planning for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). 

This requires a device to be able to:  

Utilize Secure Boot to allow only trusted firmware to run on the devices  

Receive and execute software updates, and ensure that the updates are authentic, unaltered, and only from a trusted source.   

Securely signing code is the current gold standard for OEMs, but manual processes, siloed signing tools, and keys left unprotected are just a few of the risks that organizations face when preparing to comply with CRA.  

In this webinar, you will learn: 

Why code signing is so important and its multiple roles in product security  

Code signing’s significance in the Cyber Resilience Act  

How Keyfactor and NXP have come together to overcome the pitfalls of outdated code signing processes

Moving Faster on Shorter Certificate Lifecycles with Automation

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is foundational to enterprise security, yet its resilience depends on the quality of entropy behind cryptographic keys. Traditional entropy gathering is struggling with advances in technology which make traditional "opportunistic"  sources we gather entropy from less and less useful. This problem, coupled with expanding digital ecosystems, shorter certificate lifespans, and looming post-quantum requirements is making traditional entropy techniques increasingly inadequate.

In this webinar, Quside and Keyfactor will demonstrate how quantum entropy, delivered through QRNG technology, strengthens PKI security and performance. Learn how our joint integration of EJBCA, along with Quside’s PCIe One quantum entropy solution, enables organizations to issue and manage certificates with measurable, verifiable randomness.

Eliminating PKI Entropy Starvation with Certified Quantum Entropy

What am I missing? It’s the question on every CISOs mind. But while security teams focus on the latest zero-days and cloud misconfigurations, the biggest risks are buried in the oldest and most foundational layer of the security stack: Cryptography.

Developers embed it, IT deploys it, vendors bundle it into products, yet no one has clear visibility or control over its use. The result? Cryptographic risks and vulnerabilities—unencrypted protocols, hardcoded keys, obsolete algorithms, and quantum-vulnerable assets—are quickly becoming a foundational threat to operational integrity and security. 

Join Chris Hickman, Chief Security Officer, and Ryan Sanders, Sr. Director of Product & Customer Marketing, as they unpack insights and real-world examples of why cryptographic risk should be on every CISOs radar and how you can start to address it.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- The top cryptographic blind spots, risks, and vulnerabilities
- The importance of cryptographic discovery and inventory
- Where to start on your path from risk to resilience

The CISO Guide to Cryptographic Risks & Vulnerabilities

A webinar about what financial services companies needs are surrounding future-proof PKI and that it’s ok to be late to the PQC party, we’re here to discuss the steps you can take to meet the 2026 guidance. Covers the “circling of the regulatory wagons” around PQC globally in a fireside chat-style format that looks at what’s common between emerging and emerged regulations across US, EU, Australia and UK. Note to the audience that there are no hard asks or requirements right now, but that the last quarter of 2025 is seen as the last PQC jumping off point for when preparation to address soft asks should begin, to give global FinServ companies proper time to prepare themselves. 

We will also discuss what concrete steps other companies are taking, what Fred has done at ING, and his advice for companies that are overwhelmed by the thought of beginning this journey. It’s all about digestible, prescriptive steps based on their cryptographic topography and organizational readiness. 

The webinar positions Keyfactor as the solution to bring them up to speed easily and though it involves ING and uses the ING name, does not explicitly name ING as a customer of Keyfactor.

The Future of Proven Quantum Randomness

The foundations of digital trust are facing unprecedented disruption. 
With NIST setting a transition timeline to post-quantum cryptography — deprecating widely used algorithms like RSA, ECDSA, and DH by 2030 — and the CA/Browser Forum mandating TLS certificate lifespan reductions to just 47 days by 2029, security teams are being forced to rethink cryptographic agility from the ground up. 

This is more than a compliance checkbox. It’s a massive operational challenge — and one that can’t wait until the final hour. A fragmented or manual certificate management approach won’t scale. Without a strategy, organizations risk outages, insecure systems, and missed deadlines in an era where both quantum threats and certificate expiration can take down critical infrastructure. 
In this session, we’ll dive into: 

What NIST’s crypto-agility paper really means, and how to apply it in real-world environments 
The operational implications of shorter certificate lifespans—and how automation is no longer optional 
How to develop a cryptographic inventory, prioritize remediation, and future-proof your architecture 
Practical steps to align PQC migration and certificate lifecycle management under one cohesive roadmap 

Cryptography is no longer background noise—it’s an urgent, strategic priority. This session will arm security architects and infrastructure leaders with a clear action plan to adapt before trust expires.
