Under National Security Memorandum/NSM-10, United States government agencies and industry are directed to “prioritize the timely and equitable transition of cryptographic systems to quantum-resistant cryptography” (PQC) by 2035. Agencies require visibility of their cryptographic inventory and support for new algorithms, standardized by NIST, to report progress towards this strategic goal. In the implementation of cryptographic systems, NSM-10 emphasizes the need for “cryptographic agility, both to reduce the time required to transition and to allow for seamless updates for future cryptographic standards.”

Watch the on-demand recording of the webinar where we discussed how the Fortanix® Data Security Manager™ and Key Insight™ technologies can support agencies in their transition to PQC standards for quantum information security. We discussed relevant developments in quantum computing that reinforce the need to act now in respect of PQC migration. We also provided an overview of necessary capabilities for robust cryptographic security and cryptographic agility.

During this webinar, attendees learned more about:

• Automated cryptographic key discovery and inventory management
• Role-based access control (RBAC) for human and machine users
• Configurable policy management and auditability
• Agile cryptographic implementation and control
• Scalability and ease of integration
