Why 2023 is the year to become PQC-ready

2022 was a big year in the cryptographic security community. If you don’t have news alerts set up for the latest updates on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), here’s a quick overview

Good key management for financial services: protecting your digital assets from the inside out

Good key management for financial services: protecting your digital assets from the inside out

Java’s recent Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) vulnerability underscores the fact that organizations cannot rely solely on outside vendors for effective cybersecurity. The financial services industry must evolve its encryption and key management strategies in line with its changing infrastructure models, advocating an inside-out approach that has proven itself over time.

Quantum Computing And Cryptography: How Crypto-Agility Can Help You Prepare For Risks

While the science and technology behind quantum computers is extremely complex, their computing power has been steadily increasing, from 3 qubits in 1998, to 7 qubits in 2000, to 12 qubits in 2006, and up to 72 qubits in 2018.

Achieving Software Integrity Through Centralized Code Signing

Achieving Software Integrity Through Centralized Code Signing

The phrase “…Software is eating the world.” was famously used by Marc Andreessen in a WSJ article in 2011. It is now 2020, and one could argue that software has successfully eaten the world.

Key Management in a Multi-Cloud Environment - A blessing or a curse?

Key Management in a Multi-Cloud Environment - A blessing or a curse?

Most people will probably agree that encrypting your sensitive data is the right thing to do. Not only is it the technique of choice to meet multiple compliance mandates, depending on the market your business operates in, this might be PCI, HIPAA, NERC-CIP or more general regulations like GDPR or PSD2. Encryption also helps you to achieve a higher level of resilience against data breaches and ultimately protects your organization from the impacts on reputation and the costs involved.
