Improved management is key to future security success

Dave Roche, Director of Product - Software Trust at DigiCert, explains how, all too often, people seem to treat keys - the most sensitive cryptographic assets an organisation possesses - as something to acquire and forget about - only looking for it when they’re actually required to sign code or decrypt something. That poses a huge security problem on its own, but on top of that, the direction of regulatory and technological change won’t let them do that for much longer, especially when we start thinking about Quantum threats, which will render most of the algorithms we use now completely vulnerable. Time to implement a comprehensive and futureproof key management and security certification strategy.

Security is NOT the enemy of innovation

Sashi Jayeratnam, Senior Director of Product Management for Spirent, explains how an unfortunate reality of modern cybersecurity is that it is often put at odds with the wave of innovation that is now happening in enterprise IT – security testing is often reactive and manual and generally cannot keep up with the complexity or pace that innovation brings about. Sashi describes a new approach, where innovation within an organization needs to be managed differently, with security testing embedded and automated throughout the change process so that changes can be tested before they are rolled out. From there security can become an embedded part of the innovation process.
