Track Two

Presented by: Kris Olejniczak, QSA, P2PE QSA, SSF QSA, QPA, Managing Director, Patronusec and Rolf Pielage, Senior Manager, Deloitte Netherlands

Traditional methods for managing cryptographic keys have often involved labor-intensive processes that not only increase the margin of error but also complicate compliance and auditing procedures. We will unveil a different and innovative approach to key management that redefines the traditional approach while significantly reducing manual efforts. We will explore an automated key management approach, designed to enhance security measures and simplify the auditing process and show how automated systems can handle key generation, distribution, rotation, and destruction with minimal human intervention. Furthermore, we will demonstrate how this novel approach facilitates a seamless and transparent auditing trail simplifying auditing process.
