With the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) setting an official deadline of 2035 for transitioning away from legacy encryption, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is top of mind as organizations race against the clock to protect against quantum threats. However, many still have questions about what these changes mean for their data security and their existing systems. Keyfactor Tech Days offers an opportunity for organizations to explore the latest strategies for implementing robust public key infrastructure (PKI), digital trust, and software security, while networking with peers to find resources for PQC planning.

“It has been incredible to witness Keyfactor Tech Days become the cornerstone industry event it is today. The event opens the floor for global leaders and key decision makers to connect and hold critical discussions around the evolving digital trust and PKI landscape,” said Jordan Rackie, CEO, Keyfactor. “This year’s prestigious speaker lineup is a testament to the value and impact of these conversations, heightened in the tumultuous age of AI and PQC. Keyfactor Tech Days unites us to tackle these challenges head-on, driving innovation and collaboration like never before.”

For the first time at this event, Keyfactor will present the Digital Trust Awards to celebrate organizations and individuals driving innovation and excellence in digital trust. Award winners represent the top trailblazers in PKI, certificate lifecycle automation, post-quantum security, digital signing, and crypto-agility.

This year’s Keyfactor Tech Days is supported by an esteemed group of sponsors: Accutive Security, AWS, Dotsquares, Fortanix, IBM, InfoSec Global, Liquid PC, Quantum PKI, Quside, Securosys, Thales, and Utimaco.
