Panel Discussion: Operating Cryptography at Scale—Lessons from the Real World (K01a)
Modern systems live or die by how well cryptography is deployed, managed, and maintained at scale—not in theory, but in production. This panel will be a practical, no-nonsense discussion on what actually breaks, what survives, and what organizations consistently underestimate when operating cryptographic systems across large, complex environments. Drawing on real-world experience, the panel will explore key operational challenges such as key management, crypto agility, lifecycle management, and preparing for post-quantum transitions. Expect hard lessons, concrete examples, and guidance you can apply immediately.
