With regulations tightening and cryptographic threats evolving, enterprises can no longer rely on static encryption strategies. The shift toward crypto agility is now a business imperative, ensuring organizations can seamlessly adapt to new cryptographic standards and regulatory requirements across the globe. The rise of global compliance mandates, including NIST PQC guidelines, GDPR, and industry-specific security requirements, is driving organizations to rethink their cryptographic management approach.

In this expert-led session, we will discuss the challenges enterprises face with legacy cryptography, the impact of emerging compliance mandates, and practical steps to accelerate crypto agility.

Key takeaways:
• The global regulatory impact: How compliance requirements are accelerating crypto agility.
• Crypto agility in action: How enterprises can automate discovery, management, and migration.
• Planning for the future: Preparing for the transition to quantum-safe cryptography.

Join Amit Mishra, HCLTech, and Karthik Kannan, AppViewX, as they share expert insights into international regulations, crypto agility best practices, and strategies for enterprises to secure their cryptographic future with minimal risk and disruption.

“IT expands at such a rapid pace today that holding onto traditional on-premises solutions is like keeping a vintage car—nostalgic, yes, but it's probably not the most efficient way to get from point A to point B,” according to Sesh Ramasharma, who is the Global Head of Identity Security with the digital foundation consulting team at HCLTech. 

If you're using Broadcom's SiteMinder for web access management, you know how solid and reliable it can be. As your enterprise scales and evolves, can your on-prem solution keep up? It may be time to consider a move to a containerized version of SiteMinder.

Identity and access management has evolved in its ability to secure the enterprise while minimizing disruption or affecting user experience. Using the example of SiteMinder from Broadcom, our speakers share insights and expertise for moving from a static and rigid infrastructure with traditional capital and operating costs to a dynamic Kubernetes-based architecture represents and opportunity to reduce CapEx and OpEx.
In this session:
- Comparing traditional architecture to containerized SiteMinder architecture.
- Considerations when making the move
- Additional resources for attendees

The power of containerization delivers flexibility that simplifies operations and can lower costs.
