AppViewX Expert to Present Session on Achieving Crypto-Agility for the Quantum Era at BSidesSF 2025

Head of Product Security Prasanth Sundararajan will provide practical strategies to fortify PKI against quantum threats targeting legacy encryption algorithms

AppViewX, a leader in automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM) and public key infrastructure (PKI) solutions, will take the stage at BSidesSF 2025 to help enterprises accelerate preparation for the coming quantum disruption. In the session Iron-Clad PKI: Crypto-Agility for the Quantum Era, attendees will learn how to assess their cryptographic risk posture and take proactive steps to align with emerging post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards.

PKI is the foundation of trust for secure digital transactions, yet most organizations are unprepared for the quantum era. As the threat timeline narrows, security and infrastructure leaders must take steps now to inventory their cryptographic assets, identify risk concentrations, and adopt crypto-agile strategies that enable seamless migration to post-quantum cryptography.

AppViewX will also be demonstrating the AVX ONE Certificate Lifecycle and PKI platform for certificate and key lifecycle automation, PKIaaS, CLM for Kubernetes and code signing at RSA Conference 2025 Booth #4608 in the North Expo at the Moscone Center.

WHO: Prasanth Sundararajan, Head of Product Security at AppViewX, has more than 15 years of experience in cryptography, PKI architecture, and enterprise security operations. He has led large-scale implementations of certificate lifecycle management and crypto-agility solutions for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, and actively contributes to standards-aligned security initiatives. His expertise spans hybrid cryptographic environments, post-quantum readiness, and the automation of cryptographic risk mitigation strategies.

WHAT: Quantum computing is on track to break today’s most widely used encryption algorithms—RSA and ECDSA—putting digital certificates, encrypted data, and secure communications at risk. Despite this approaching threat, many organizations continue to rely on legacy PKI infrastructure and manual management processes that expose them to expired or misconfigured certificates, weak governance, and minimal visibility into crypto assets.

This session will explore:

• The scale of the quantum threat to enterprise PKI and why acting now is essential
  
  
  
  
• NIST’s post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standardization timeline and key algorithms
  
  
  
  
• Common operational pitfalls in PKI management that increase quantum vulnerability
  
  
  
  
• A practical, step-by-step approach to building crypto-agility and PQC readiness
  
  
  
  
• A live demo of certificate discovery, quantum risk scoring, and remediation planning

Attendees will gain actionable insights into how to discover cryptographic blind spots, prioritize high-risk certificates, and begin transitioning to quantum-safe alternatives—all while maintaining business continuity.

WHEN: Sunday, April 27, 2025. 1:30pm – 2:00pm PDT

WHERE: BSidesSF 2025. AMC Theatre 07, San Francisco
