Quantum computers promise breakthroughs in pharmaceutical research, financial modeling, and climate predictions but pose significant cybersecurity risks. As quantum computing evolves, businesses must stay informed about post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and prepare for the shift to quantum-resistant encryption. This proactive approach ensures business continuity and security in a post-quantum world.
As businesses become more reliant on software, the security of their code signing processes is crucial for maintaining their reputation, however many organizations lack the necessary protections, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Despite the growing concern among security professionals about the misuse of code signing certificates, few organizations consistently enforce adequate security measures, leaving them exposed to significant risks. This study collected data that uncovered four primary challenges that keep organizations from effectively protecting their code signing processes.
Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs) are essential for organizational cybersecurity, but many legacy systems like Microsoft's ADCS are outdated and challenging to manage. As business demands grow, these legacy PKIs can no longer keep up. This white paper explores why transitioning to a modern PKI-as-a-service solution can enhance business agility and better meet current needs.

TLS machine identities (certificates) secure app communications. Manual management is overwhelming, leading to outage-causing expired certificates and security vulnerabilities.
TLS machine identity issues, like expired or misconfigured certificates, pose risks to digital projects, causing outages and undermining security measures.
The growing machine count, across various domains, necessitates robust identity management. Machine identity errors can lead to significant losses. Gartner highlights this as a 2022 cyber trend.
Digital transformation has brought technological progress and increased security threats, notably in banking. Banks face growing pressure to safeguard customer data and reputation.
Organizations are vulnerable to code signing breaches if they neglect security,
exposing risks and hampering workflows. InfoSec uncertainty can be detrimental.
Utilizing SSL/TLS and VPNs elevates security, but improper implementation can be misleading. Inefficient key and certificate management disrupts business operations.
Users use names and passwords to access networks. Machines use machine identities. Machines are crucial in the digital era, but their identities are often neglected, leading to increased threats.
Learn from government and industry experts as they discuss principles of a fast and secure government that can modernize and keep pace with the rest of the world around us while enforcing the strictest of security protocols.Specifically, you’ll learn:How a lack of communication and security has historically slowed down modern application development.How to strengthen the alliances between security and development.The biggest barriers still facing agencies looking to invest in a secure future.
One of the advantages of modern IT services is that they leverage both physical machines (computers and other devices) and virtual machines (e.g., applications, containers and code) to exchange data and execute tasks without human intervention.That makes it possible to design services that are fast, flexible and reliable. But it also raises an important security question: How do you know whether those machines can be trusted?
Government security teams already have their hands full trying to manage the identities of the people accessing their agencies’ networks. Meanwhile, a new identity challenge is growing. Beyond authenticating humans, these teams now realize they must also manage the identities of countless machines like systems, applications, devices and other non-human entities on these networks.
Who should read this: InfoSec and DevOps leaders who need DevOps automated workflows to use proper machine identity protection policies and practices. Digital transformation — driven by cloud computing, modern architecture such as containers, VMs, microservices and DevOps practices — requires new approaches to security, demanding the protection of machine identities that enable authentication and encryption required for secure machine-to-machine communication. Digital communication uses X.509 certificates that serve as identities for all components of the modern application infrastructure stack. However, the rapid consumption of certificates across the heterogeneous groups, networks and systems needed to support DevOps and applications in the cloud presents new and significant challenges.
