Post-Quantum Readiness: A Holistic Approach to Vulnerability and Cryptographic Risk Management

45 minutes

As the quantum era approaches, enterprises must navigate dual challenges: mitigating current vulnerabilities and preparing for the shift to quantum-resistant cryptography. A critical aspect of this preparation is achieving comprehensive asset visibility—locating all endpoints, identifying assets across workloads, applications, and multi-cloud environments, and uncovering hidden vulnerabilities. Experts will discuss strategies to build a unified vulnerability management process that not only addresses M23-01 and M23-02 requirements but also ensures cryptographic resilience by replacing weak encryption algorithms. Gain insights into securing enterprise assets, enhancing endpoint discovery, and adopting quantum-safe cryptographic standards.
