AppViewX Expert to Discuss Post-Quantum Crypto-Agility at BSidesSF 2025, Offering Practical Strategies for PKI Fortification

AppViewX Expert to Present Session on Achieving Crypto-Agility for the Quantum Era at BSidesSF 2025 Prasanth Sundararajan, Head of Product Security at AppViewX, will lead a session titled "Iron-Clad PKI: Crypto-Agility for the Quantum Era" at BSidesSF 2025. The session aims to provide practical strategies for enterprises to prepare for the quantum computing era, which threatens to break widely used encryption algorithms like RSA and ECDSA. Attendees will learn how to assess their cryptographic risk posture and take proactive steps to align with emerging post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a crucial component of digital trust, securing transactions, data, and communications. However, most organizations are ill-prepared for the quantum era, where the rapid advancement of quantum computing could render current encryption methods obsolete. Security and infrastructure leaders must act swiftly to inventory their cryptographic assets, identify areas of high risk, and implement crypto-agile strategies that allow for a seamless transition to PQC. In his session, Sundararajan will cover several key topics: Discovering cryptographic blind spots Prioritizing high-risk certificates Initiating the transition to quantum-safe alternatives Maintaining business continuity during the migration process The session will offer actionable insights to help organizations fortify their PKI and ensure they remain secure as quantum computing capabilities evolve.
