Turn Operational Overload Into Crystal-Clear Visibility

Managing cryptographic security – from technology like PKI and HSMs, to keys, certificates, and secrets, to the compliance layer – can create operational overload for enterprises preparing for quantum computing. Which is why we’ve partnered with Ponemon Institute to gather insights from 4,000 global IT, security, and risk leaders to better understand how organizations are preparing for post-quantum. From shortened certificate lifecycles to expanding cryptographic sprawl – our report reveals where readiness is advancing, where it’s falling behind, and why crypto-agility is critical for resilience in the years ahead.

68% of organizations say managing cryptographic assets is extremely difficult. With growing volumes of certificates, keys, and secrets comes fragmented ownership or operational strain. Dive into the report to see how enterprises are confronting complexity through improved inventory, governance, and crypto-agility.

The validity period for public trust certificates will soon be shrinking from 398 days to just 47 days by 2029 – starting with lifetimes being cut in half to 200 days in March 2026. This seismic shift will force near-monthly certificate renewals and increased workloads. The study underscores why organizations need full visibility, inventory accuracy, and automation now to keep pace with the certificate lifecycle changes in the future.
