Eight years ago, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a public process to select quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms for standardization. NIST issued the public call for submissions to the PQC Standardization Process in December 2016 and, after three rounds of evaluation and analysis, selected four algorithms for standardization: CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+. In this talk we will discuss the three current NIST PQC endeavors: drafting standards for the selected algorithms, the remaining algorithms under consideration in the 4th round of evaluation, and the call for additional digital signatures to be considered for future standardization.

Securing government agencies against cyber threats is paramount in today’s digital age. This webinar introduces two FedRAMP High Authorized solutions, CyberArk Identity and Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM), designed to meet and exceed rigorous government security standards. CyberArk Identity simplifies user access with features like Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication, enhancing security and compliance. Complementing this, EPM protects endpoints by managing user privileges and preventing credential theft, offering an added layer of defense against cyber attacks. This session will showcase how these integrated solutions fortify agency defenses and streamline operational efficiency. Join our panelists as they explore real-life applications of CyberArk’s tools in bolstering government cybersecurity postures and preparing agencies to tackle present and future digital challenges efficiently.
