Post-quantum cryptography: The emerging threatThe transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is becoming an urgent priority for the global financial sector due to the rapid evolution of quantum computing. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers exist only as research prototypes. However, their inevitable development threatens to compromise public-key cryptography—e.g., Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and elliptical curve cryptography (ECC)—currently used to protect financial communications, digital signatures, and payment systems. For financial services institutions (FSIs) this is of p
Part 2 of a series on implementing zero trust in Red Hat OpenShift with the layered zero trust validated pattern (ZTVP)In our previous article, we explored why network policies, specifically a default-deny posture combined with strict ingress and egress rules, are your critical last line of defense when you can’t patch fast enough or when all other security barriers fail. By locking down network communication, we effectively eliminate lateral attack paths and contain the blast radius of a compromised workload.But a true zero-trust architecture as defined by NIST SP 800-207 isn't about buildi
