Embedding trust and resilience into critical infrastructure is a moving target. We must focus on the trustworthiness and integrity of the technology and processes that run these critical systems.

Many organizations are taking on cyber risk driven by current disruption and the pressure to ‘keep things going.’ We must ensure our new technology dependence is appropriately understood and managed.

So far, the industry has been testing post-quantum key exchange and authentication separately in a quest for a quantum-secure future. We recently have been experimenting with TLS and SSH using both post-quantum key exchange and authentication. The preliminary results are promising for some algorithms.

Quantum Computers could threaten encryption tunnels like IPsec, MACsec, and TLS. MACsec is an authenticated encryption protocol that, if appropriately configured, can be quantum-safe. The whitepaper shows how.

Quantum Computers could threaten the security of TLS key exchange and authentication. To assess the performance of post-quantum certificates TLS 1.3, we evaluated NIST Round 2 signature algorithms. See results.

This award for our Keep Cisco Safe campaign represents our relentless effort to drive pervasive security, trust, data protection, and privacy into everything we do at Cisco.

The latest Cisco Data Privacy Benchmark Study provides groundbreaking research and insights on keeping data safe, earning customer trust and maximizing investments in data privacy.

It’s a new Day for National Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience.  While November is recognized as the month focused on this issue in the U.S., for some time, digital transformation has widened the aperture of our lens dramatically.

As we saw in my last blog the network plays a key role in defending critical infrastructure and IoT. The devices that we are connecting drive our business, enabling us to make smarter decisions and gain greater efficiency through digitization. But how do we ensure the connected devices are acting as intended?
