While traditional digital computers are built on binary combinations of “0” and “1,” quantum computers operate on “qubits,” enabling exponentially faster computation. As promising as this evolution is for a hyper-connected future, it poses a critical threat to existing PKI-based authentication systems. Recognizing this risk, NIST officially announced new Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms in August last year, calling for all organizations to prepare for the next generation of cryptographic standards.

Separately, under growing pressure from Google and Apple, the CA/Browser Forum (CABF) announced in April that the maximum validity of TLS/SSL certificates will be shortened from the current 398 days to just 47 days by 2029 ? a phased reduction over the next three years.

Unlike data, software cannot be protected through simple encryption alone. Every stage of the software development lifecycle must be secured and governed to effectively defend against the rapidly increasing threat of software supply chain attacks.

Is your organization ready for these changes in security architecture? This session will explore the current landscape of digital threats and provide insights into how to prepare your infrastructure and processes for what’s ahead.
