As we barrel toward the AI and post-quantum computing era, tech professionals have one key concern on their minds: “data security.”
The goal of remediation is to efficiently fill gaps in an organization's security posture to meet its data security goals. One way to help meet these goals is to achieve crypto agility, the ability to quickly and seamlessly respond to a cryptographic security threat. Modern organizations are as aware of cybersecurity threats as ever, but it doesn’t seem to matter. The number of major breaches globallystemming from a breach involving the private information of roughly 560 million customers. In late May, the hacker group ShinyHunters listed the data for sale on the dark web for a reported $500,000.records, including information on purchases between 2017 and 2024.
During discovery and assessment, for example, you may find a key that hasn’t been rotated for five years, which should trigger a rotation. Or there may be a key being rotated periodically, but the service it’s attached to continues to use the old key. In this case, remediation would trigger a workflow or automation to fix the identified problem.Full remediation with crypto agility involves multiple elements.
