DigiCert, Inc. - Experts & Thought Leaders

DigiCert, a global pioneer in intelligent trust, today announced the speaker lineup for its third annual World Quantum Readiness Day, taking place virtually on September 17, 2026. Bringing together experts from across cryptography, cybersecurity, and technology, the event will focus on how organizations can move from quantum readiness planning to action. This year’s theme, “From Blueprint to Build,” covers practical approaches to PQC migration, changes in global regulations and standards, common PQC challenges, and lessons from organizations putting readiness plans into practice. Post-quantum cryptography “The shift to post-quantum cryptography is a significant undertaking, and the time to make tangible progress is now,” said Dr. Amit Sinha, CEO of DigiCert. “Organizations don’t need to solve everything at once. By taking focused steps today, they can reduce risk, build momentum and create a stronger foundation for a quantum-safe future.” Guest speakers for World Quantum Readiness Day 2026 include: Christian Pfister, Team Leader IT Security Operation (SOC) & Lead Quantum Safe Competence Center, LGT Financial Services AG Colin Soutar, Global Quantum Cyber Readiness Leader, Deloitte & Touche LLP Naomi Wynn, CEO, National Energy PKI Jostein Stokkan, Product Manager, Security Service Offerings, ATEA Managed Services Sadaaki Yamazaki, Senior Security Specialist, Digital Solution R&D Department, Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd. Regional virtual sessions DigiCert speakers include Dr. Amit Sinha, CEO; Lakshmi Hanspal, Chief Trust Officer; Deepika Chauhan, Chief Product Officer; Tim Hollebeek, Vice President, Industry Standards; Dean Coclin, Senior Director, Industry Strategy; and Shane Kelly, Principal Crypto Architect. World Quantum Readiness Day will feature three regional virtual sessions for the Americas, EMEA and APJ, hosted by John Furrier, Co-founder & CEO of SiliconANGLE Media, Executive Editor of SiliconANGLE.com and host of the CUBE. The event is free and includes a live Q&A.

DigiCert, a pioneer in intelligent trust, announces it has been recognized as a top-tier digital trust leader in Frost & Sullivan's ‘Frost Radar™: Digital Trust and eSignature Ecosystem, 2026.’ DigiCert was positioned among the market's leadership cluster for both Innovation and Growth. Frost & Sullivan noted that DigiCert's growth is being propelled by enterprise demand for cryptographic trust at scale. Frost & Sullivan highlighted the growing need for organizations to trust not only a digital signature, but also the identity behind it and the integrity of the content over time. As AI generated content and digital fraud become more common, organizations need confidence that their digital transactions remain authentic, secure, and compliant. The report recognized DigiCert's ability to help customers meet these challenges while preparing for evolving regulations such as eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet framework. Combine identity verification To help organizations put that into practice, DigiCert provides cryptographic proof that establishes who signed a document, confirms it has not been altered, and preserves verifiable evidence over time. For example, when a procurement contract, supplier agreement, regulatory filing, purchase order, or employment contract is signed digitally, organizations can demonstrate its authenticity years later. DigiCert ONE brings these capabilities together in a single platform, making it easier to establish and manage digital trust across the enterprise. "Organizations are moving beyond standalone e-signature tools toward integrated digital trust architectures that combine identity verification, signing, and integrity controls," said Riana Barnard, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "DigiCert's PKI-native approach provides a trusted foundation for these capabilities, helping organizations establish a single, auditable trust backbone across digital transactions while preparing for evolving regulatory and security requirements." "Organizations are under growing pressure to know what they can trust online," said Deepika Chauhan, Chief Product Officer at DigiCert. "AI is changing how digital content is created and shared, and that is raising the bar for proving authenticity. We believe trust needs to be built into the foundation of every digital interaction."

DigiCert, a pioneer in intelligent trust, announces the release of the Second Edition of Post-Quantum Cryptography For Dummies. Updated to address the accelerating shift toward quantum-safe cryptography, the new edition provides organizations with practical guidance for preparing for one of the most significant cybersecurity transitions of the decade: the adoption of post-quantum cryptography. Since the publication of the first edition, the pace of change has accelerated across every aspect of cybersecurity. Organizations are now managing an explosion of machine identities, autonomous AI systems, evolving regulatory expectations, shorter certificate lifecycles, and continued advances in quantum computing. Post-quantum cryptography The Second Edition reflects this new reality with expanded guidance on crypto-agility, cryptographic discovery and inventory, migration planning, and implementing NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography. It also broadens the conversation beyond quantum computing to help organizations understand how converging technology, regulatory, and operational trends are reshaping digital trust and why preparing now is essential. “Quantum readiness is not just about preparing for a future event, it's about building the trust foundation organizations need to secure AI, machine identities, and the next generation of digital infrastructure,” said Kevin Hilscher, Senior Director of Product Management at DigiCert. “The Second Edition of Post-Quantum Cryptography For Dummies helps organizations navigate one of the most significant cybersecurity transitions of the decade by making post-quantum cryptography easier to understand and translating evolving standards into practical, actionable guidance.” Long-term cyber resilience The Second Edition explores: Why quantum readiness is now a business imperative The growing role of digital trust in an AI-driven, machine identity-first world How to discover cryptographic assets, reduce cryptographic debt, and plan the migration Best practices for crypto-agility and implementing NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography Practical guidance for strengthening long-term cyber resilience The first edition introduced thousands of security professionals to the fundamentals of post-quantum cryptography. As organizations move from awareness to execution, the Second Edition builds on that foundation with updated content, equipping readers with practical strategies for building crypto-agility today while preparing for the next generation of intelligent trust.
