The underlying problems above all are directly related to the weakest link in any SRA implementation and that is the people component. We do not truly trust the end users or devices they are connecting from or to (hence the Zero in ZTA / ZTNA) and for valid reasons. We also cannot trust that internal staff (or external resources managing our SRA implementations) follow published best practices for creating a safe and secure access infrastructure. From the auditor “lens” we all have found open VPN connections, weak passwords, shared user accounts, ineffective policies and just overall poor security hygiene. We also have found a lack of audit trails or that collaboration tool installed on a jump host so a third party can easily get in to do urgent work after hours. In conclusion, no matter what we define as an SRA solution we all must do a better job from both a vendor and end user perspective in creating a more secure and risk reducing safety posture for SRA implementations overall, which 55% of respondents stated was a concern as well. About the Author Kevin Kumpf has more than 20 years of IT security and compliance experience, including over 10 years of cybersecurity, governance and critical infrastructure experience working in the energy, medical, manufacturing, transportation and FedRAMP realms. Kevin’s past roles include Director of OT Security (N.A.) for Iberdrola, where he oversaw the security, and regulatory compliance of multiple OpCo’s, and Principal Security and Regulatory Lead for interactions with the NY and NE ISO’s, NERC, ISAC’s as well as state and federal entities. He has also worked internally and as a vendor/consultant at multiple healthcare and manufacturing entities to mitigate the threats they were under in relation to ransomware, insider threats and malware infestation. Today Kevin works as the OT Technical Lead at Cyolo.

Steps for Preparing for a Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Future By Timothy Hollebeek, Industry Technology Strategist, DigiCert The rise of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is shedding light on the pervasive nature of cryptography in our digital world. Virtually every digital connection relies on cryptographic techniques and public key infrastructures (PKIs) to establish trust. However, the emergence of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) poses a threat to traditional asymmetric algorithms such as RSA and ECC. The solution lies in post-quantum cryptography, which encompasses cryptographic algorithms designed to be resistant to quantum computer attacks. While CRQCs need to be more powerful and larger than currently available quantum computers, their development is progressing, and organizations must prepare for the eventual transition to post-quantum algorithms. This transition poses a significant challenge, necessitating a complex upgrade of the vast digital infrastructure built over the past few decades. Although organizations have some time to adapt, they need to initiate the process of understanding the implications of this transition. In the United States, federal agencies have been instructed by the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) to inventory their cryptographic systems in preparation for the shift to quantum-resistant cryptography. The guidelines, outlined in the White House's National Security Memorandum 10, required agencies to submit their prioritized inventories of cryptographic systems by May 4, 2023. However, meeting this deadline has proven to be challenging for some agencies. The complexity of identifying cryptographic systems is not limited to federal agencies alone; it applies to organizations across all Cyber Defense eMagazine – August 2023 Edition 117 Copyright © 2023, Cyber Defense Magazine.
