Preventing Outages in the Quantum Era


Course
Enroll

Mike Nelson of DigiCert covers implementing certificate life cycle management automation, assessing post-quantum cryptography readiness, and building crypto agility frameworks for healthcare interoperability.

Cryptography underpins trust across all connected healthcare systems - from EHRs and medical devices to secure communications and data encryption. Yet the foundation of that trust is shifting dramatically. Certificate validity periods are shrinking rapidly, moving from annual renewals to cycles as short as 47 days, forcing organizations beyond manual management with spreadsheets.

Simultaneously, post-quantum cryptography demands urgent preparation as quantum computers threaten to crack today's RSA and ECC algorithms instantly. Without discovery tools, automation and crypto agility, healthcare organizations risk catastrophic system outages that compromise patient care and disrupt critical operations.

The session will cover:

  • Implementing certificate life cycle management and automation to handle drastically shortened renewal cycles;
  • Assessing organizational readiness for post-quantum cryptography migration using NIST-approved algorithms;
  • Building crypto agility frameworks that enable seamless transitions without breaking interoperability across legacy and modern systems.
