Digicert Preparing Financial Services for a Post-Quantum World with Crypto-Agility

Abstract:

Financial services organizations operate highly complex systems in what is arguably the world’s most regulated market. Preparing these systems for the transition path to post quantum cryptography will be equally complex. However, 61% of organizations report being unprepared for the threat posed by quantum computing and aren’t sure when or how to start planning.

There’s a clock ticking down to the moment when quantum computers are powerful enough to break the encryption that enables security, trust, and privacy online. We don’t know when it will hit zero. But we do know what will happen when it does.

Join financial sector peers and industry experts, DigiCert CEO Amit Sinha and Interim CISO Tim Hollebeek, to learn best practices and elevate your organization's cryptographic resilience. Be part of the conversation that prepares for a quantum-safe future and shapes the future of secure digital landscapes.

Discussion Points:

• The Quantum Threat: Understand the potential impact of quantum computing on existing cryptographic systems and data security.
• Identifying Vulnerable Data: Identify the types of data most at risk to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks.
• Developing a Roadmap for Transition: Discuss strategies for developing a roadmap to adopt post-quantum cryptography.
• Overcoming Challenges in Adoption: Explore the potential obstacles and challenges in implementing post-quantum cryptography.
• The Future of Cryptography: Discuss the long-term implications of quantum computing and the evolving landscape of cryptography.
