Companies face the challenge of implementing crypto-agile processes, as cryptographic methods and regulatory requirements are constantly evolving. At the same time, the threat posed by quantum computers-which could break traditional encryption methods-is growing. The BSI and NIST recommend transitioning to new encryption methods by the end of 2030, depending on the data’s security requirements.

However, the transition to new cryptographic methods is complex: Many companies do not have a complete inventory of their cryptographic assets, and migration processes often involve numerous technical dependencies. As a result, an update can take a long time-time that is in short supply given the evolving threat landscape.

Crypto-agility offers a solution here. It makes it possible to flexibly and efficiently replace cryptographic methods with better alternatives—without having to fundamentally change existing systems or processes. Join our webinar to learn how you can successfully implement crypto-agility in your organization.
