Securing the Future of Federal Identity: Managing Cryptographic Risk for the AI and Post-Quantum Era

Federal identity systems depend on cryptography to establish trust, yet many agencies lack visibility into the certificates, keys, algorithms, and cryptographic libraries supporting critical infrastructure. As AI accelerates threat discovery and agencies prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), managing cryptographic risk has become essential to securing digital identity, supporting Zero Trust, and maintaining mission resilience. 

This session explores practical strategies for discovering and inventorying cryptographic assets across identity infrastructure, cloud environments, applications, and third-party systems. Attendees will learn how automation improves certificate lifecycle management, strengthens governance, and enables continuous visibility into cryptographic risk. The session will also discuss how crypto-agility helps agencies prepare for evolving federal requirements and the transition to quantum-safe cryptography without disrupting operations. 

Attendees will leave with actionable guidance for reducing cryptographic risk today while building a more resilient, future-ready foundation for federal identity.
