Quantum Readiness & Zero Trust: Strategies to Strengthen Digital Resilience - Amit Sinha, Chris Hickman, Albert Estevez Polo, Jordan Avnaim - BSW #397

1 hour 7 minutes

This segment explores how automated microsegmentation addresses critical Zero Trust gaps overlooked by traditional access controls and legacy segmentation solutions. We'll examine the limitations of perimeter-based defenses in today's dynamic threat landscape and reveal how automated microsegmentation enhances network security beyond conventional firewalls. From cutting-edge innovations to expert insights, discover what security leaders should prioritize to stay ahead of evolving threats. This segment is sponsored by Zero Networks.

As cyber threats become increasingly difficult to detect and the technology to combat them continues to evolve, organizations must be prepared to move faster than ever. Looking ahead, the rise of post-quantum computing will bring both new opportunities and challenges, further reshaping the cybersecurity landscape. With the launch of Entrust’s Cryptographic Security Platform (announcement coming April 16th) as a backdrop, Jordan can discuss why all organizations – large and small – must prioritize post-quantum preparedness before it’s too late. He can also address emerging fraud technologies (e.g., deepfakes, GenAI) and fraud attacks (account takeovers, synthetic identities, impersonation), which are drawing more attention to the need for cyber-resilient methods, such as post-quantum cryptography, to protect against new fraud risks in the digital future.

As quantum computing advances, the security foundations of our digital world face unprecedented challenges. This session explores how integrating Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Domain Name System (DNS) technologies can fortify digital trust in the quantum era. We'll delve into strategies for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography, ensuring interoperability, and maintaining the integrity of digital communications. Join us to understand the roadmap for achieving quantum resilience and safeguarding the future of digital trust.
