Zero-Trust is Meaningless if Your Cryptography is Flakey – Vincent Berk – ESW #349
Legacy systems are riddled with outdated and unreliable cryptographic standards. So much so that recent proprietary research found 61 percent of the traffic was unencrypted, and up to 80% of encrypted network traffic has some defeatable flaw in its encryption
No longer can enterprises take their cryptography for granted, rarely evaluated or checked.
Knowing when, where and what type of cryptography is used throughout the enterprise and by which applications is critical to your overall security policy, zero-trust approach, and risk management strategy. After all, zero-trust is meaningless if your cryptography isn't working.
