Henny Penny (the hen) gets hit on the head with an acorn and she shrieks that the sky is falling. On her journey to tell the king, she proceeds to raise…
Your Post-Quantum Cryptography Journey: Over the River and Through the Woods
‘Tis the season for visits to grandmother and Uncle Joe. ‘Tis also the season for organizations to start planning their roadmaps for a quantum-safe New Year. After all, the third round of the NIST PQC Standardization Process is expected to be completed in early 2022 when the National Institute of Standards…
Taking Charge of Crypto
Cryptography is everywhere — at the core of every secure transaction, every safe automobile, every form of communication. That’s why cryptographic management is oh-so-critical, yet sometimes challenging for organizations to manage. Especially with cryptographic standards in flux from the National Institute…
Cryptographic Management: How to Minimize Mayhem and Maximize Effectiveness
Cryptography is the foundation of authentication, authorization, confidentiality, data integrity, and more. It is the foundation of digital trust; it is the enabler of overall enterprise security. Any threat to cryptography is a threat to be taken seriously. In today’s increasingly connected ecosystems,…
