External Cryptographic Inventory.

Understand what encryption is visible externally from your infrastructure and is at risk

Expired or misconfigured SSL certificates can allow attackers to intercept sensitive communications
The five pillars of cryptographic discovery and inventory form the essential framework for identifying and securing an organization’s cryptographic footprint.

Step 1 for Post-Quantum Cryptography Transition is Inventory: The Five Pillars of Cryptographic Discovery & Inventory.

In minutes. Continuously.

External Network

Understand what encryption is visible externally from your infrastructure.

Internal Network

Identify internal encryption within your network and how it communicates.

IT Assets

Recognize how endpoints, IoT devices, and servers use encryption and for what purposes.

Databases

Pinpoint the location of databases and understand how they are encrypted.

Code

Search for and inventory the encryption used within your code and code libraries.

Understand what encryption is visible externally from your infrastructure.

External Network Risk

The first pillar focuses on the External Network, which includes any encryption that is visible outside of the organization’s perimeter. This encompasses SSL/TLS certificates, digital signatures, and encrypted communication channels that interact with customers, partners, and external stakeholders.

External-facing Encryption

Failure to properly manage external encryption exposes organizations to a variety of risks. For instance, expired or misconfigured SSL certificates can allow attackers to intercept sensitive communications. Additionally, external-facing encryption is often the first line of defense against quantum-based attacks. Quantum adversaries will likely target weak encryption methods that protect externally accessible systems.

To address these risks, organizations must regularly audit their external encryption infrastructure.

Discovering SSL/TLS certificates

Identify all certificates in use across websites, APIs, and email servers, ensuring that strong encryption algorithms (such as TLS 1.3) are employed.

01

Assessing cryptographic strength

Evaluate the strength of external cryptographic mechanisms in the context of post-quantum risks. Are there algorithms still relying on RSA or ECC? If so, these must be prioritized for upgrading to quantum-safe alternatives.

02

Inventory management

Ensure that all cryptographic assets, such as certificates and digital signatures, are properly inventoried and renewed before expiration.

03

QryptoScan is an external-based scan that automatically finds all externally-facing encryption

 

Then we immediately give you a both pre and post quantum risk profile. It’s really very simple.

Replace Nothing. Gain Everything.

QryptoCyber is an additive technology stack that bolts onto your existing infrastructure.

Designed to add context… not complexity.

Starting is the easiest part.

The problem won’t get easier with time. The first step is both the simplest and easiest. Put your foot on the path and start walking to the post quantum future.
