Most organizations cannot tell you how many cryptographic assets are in their environment right now. Not how many TLS certificates are active, not where their SSH keys are deployed, not which algorithms are running across their infrastructure. This gap exists because cryptographic identity has never had a single owner. Certificates belong to infrastructure. SSH keys belong to operations. Cryptographic configurations belong to nobody.

That invisibility has always been a risk. EO 14412 just made it an obligation.

Signed June 22, 2026, Executive Order 14412 requires federal agencies and covered contractors to transition to quantum-resistant cryptography by December 31, 2030. The FAR proposed rule is expected roughly six weeks after this event. But the order does not start with migration. It starts with inventory. You cannot migrate what you have not found.

This is where most PQC conversations fall apart. They focus on algorithms and standards while skipping the harder question: do you know what is in your environment? Across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and air-gapped networks?

This session tackles that question from a practitioner's perspective.

Why cryptographic inventory is the hardest part of PQC readiness, and why most organizations underestimate the effort across connected and disconnected environments.

What discovery looks like when it must cover TLS certificates, SSH keys, and cryptographic algorithms across environments including air-gapped networks where standard tooling does not operate.

How to classify findings by quantum vulnerability and build a migration roadmap aligned with the 2030 and 2031 deadlines without disrupting operations.

Why this is a machine identity governance problem. Every non-human identity depends on cryptographic credentials, and those credentials are the first things that need to be quantum-safe.

Attendees leave with a practical methodology for cryptographic discovery and PQC readiness they can apply immediately.
