Shift to Quantum-Safe Algorithms Spurs Investment in Centralized Certificate Discovery and Management Amid Rising Threat
DigiCert introduces next-gen Discovery, part of DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager, streamlining key and certificate management for enhanced cryptoagility, saving time and resources.
“The majority of organizations have not yet implemented a centralized crypto-management solution,” said DigiCert Chief Product Officer Deepika Chauhan. “This is becoming critical now, as IT leaders consider how to transition their cryptographic algorithms and certificates to quantum-safe standards in order to protect their organizations against ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ strategies.”

In a recent Gartner® report1, Senior Director Analyst Brian Lowans wrote, “All cryptographic technologies will need to evolve to cope with the future threat of quantum computing, which is increasing the need for innovative technologies such as crypto-agility, postquantum cryptography and quantum key distribution.”
Trust Lifecycle Manager Discovery employs a broad set of methods for finding certificates within an organization, including integration with private CAs, such as AWS Private CA and Microsoft CA, integration with vulnerability management solutions such as Qualys and Tenable, integrations with web servers and load balancers, and port-based scanning.
“The integration of Qualys Vulnerability Management, Discovery and Response (VMDR) and DigiCert products enables our customers to manage and automate the cryptographic assets that they discover in their vulnerability scans,” said. Pinkesh Shah, Chief Product Officer, Qualys.“
