What does a real-world cryptographic inventory reveal? This report explores patterns found through cryptographic discovery, including quantum-vulnerable assets, legacy algorithms, fragmented governance, and unclear ownership. It helps security teams understand why a detailed cryptographic inventory is an important step toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness.
- 01
97% Quantum-Unsafe Cryptography
The report presents a typical quantum-readiness distribution in which 97% of cryptographic assets are quantum-unsafe and 3% are quantum-resistant. These figures describe the report’s typical distribution, not a universal benchmark for every organization.
- 02
55% Keys and Cryptographic Dependencies
Keys represent 55% of cryptographic objects in the report’s typical object-type distribution. The report also identifies certificates, protocols, applications, and storage artifacts, reinforcing the need to inventory cryptographic assets across the environment.
- 03
36% Certificates and Visibility Gaps
Certificates represent 36% of cryptographic objects in the report’s typical object-type distribution. The report highlights the importance of discovering certificates alongside keys, protocols, applications, and storage artifacts to assess cryptographic exposure.
