Crypto Agility Guide: Preparing for 47-Day Lifespans, Distrust Events, and Quantum Threats

Pages 8 Pages

This white paper examines major shifts disrupting digital trust, including certificate authority distrust events, post-quantum cryptography, and drastically shortened TLS certificate lifespans. It explains how the move to 47-day certificate renewals will multiply operational workloads and outage risk without automation. The document defines crypto agility as the ability to rapidly change cryptographic keys, certificates, and algorithms without breaking systems. It presents a phased roadmap covering discovery, centralization, automation, and algorithm agility. The guide emphasizes CA-neutral management, continuous inventory, and policy-driven automation as essential capabilities for resilience, compliance, and future-proof security.
