Cryptographic Resilience in the Public Sector:
Managing Trust at Scale Across State Infrastructure
In today's interconnected government environment, cryptographic resilience has become mission-critical to public service continuity and citizen trust. Every agency system, citizen-facing application, inter-agency integration, and vendor connection relies on certificates and encrypted trust relationships to function. Yet most state governments still lack a comprehensive strategy to manage cryptographic change at scale, creating significant operational blind spots as certificate lifecycles shorten, compliance mandates tighten, and post-quantum transitions move from theoretical to imminent.
In this session, Optiv and CyberArk, A Palo Alto Networks Company will jointly examine why industry leaders have identified Crypto‑Agility as one of the top three enterprise risks of 2026.
We'll break down what this means for state and local government environments, where outdated certificates, unmanaged keys, and rigid cryptographic architectures can directly impact service continuity, interagency operations, and regulatory compliance, including emerging federal mandates around post-quantum readiness and zero trust adoption.
We look forward to seeing you there!
