What to expect during DigiCert’s World Quantum Readiness Day event: Join theCUBE Sept. 17

Most enterprises now have post-quantum cryptography initiatives underway. The problem is that very few have implemented quantum-safe protections across their infrastructure. This gap was highlighted recently in a survey released by digital trust company DigiCert Inc. The report’s findings indicated that 87% of organizations were planning, testing or implementing post-quantum cryptography…

What to expect during DigiCert’s World Quantum Readiness Day event: Join theCUBE Sept. 17

Enterprise-grade organizations are making strides in post-quantum cryptography initiatives, but a significant gap remains - only 7% have fully deployed quantum-safe or hybrid cryptography across their digital certificates. DigiCert's recent survey underscores the challenge: only 87% are actively planning, testing, or implementing post-quantum cryptography, while the remaining 13% lag behind.

This underscores the urgent need for enterprises to prepare for a quantum-resistant future. TheCUBE Research's Krista Case emphasizes that cryptography is deeply woven into applications, infrastructure, and critical business processes, making quantum risk a potential operational deadline. As part of its ongoing efforts, DigiCert is hosting its annual World Quantum Readiness Day event on Sept.

17, with live coverage by theCUBE. The event will focus on quantum risk and provide insights from security leaders and public key infrastructure teams on inventorying cryptographic assets, prioritizing migration, evaluating quantum-safe algorithms, and preparing for the quantum era. DigiCert's ongoing AI Trust architecture development, including AI Agent Trust and AI Agent Passport, will also be highlighted during the event, as enterprises grapple with the complexities of AI-driven software modernization and the new challenges they pose for cryptographic security.

Looking at what we are Building

So now that you have a basic understanding of how Terraform works , before you start running any terraform command against a real AWS account, two things need to happen: you need an identity Terraform…

  • Create IAM user with programmatic access for Terraform project
  • Store Access Key ID and Secret Access Key securely
  • Terraform doesn't support hardcoding credentials in .tf files

What actually happens in a database index (and why half of them do nothing)

Same query. Same table. Same million rows. One day it takes 4 seconds . The next day, 4 milliseconds . Nothing changed in the data. The only thing that changed was one line — you added an index .

  • A database index speeds up searching in a table but half of added indexes do nothing
  • Index is a sorted map functioning like a phone book, enabling quick data lookup
  • Indexes ineffective when using leading wildcard, column function, or low selectivity

Nebraska: the person holding up your project has a name

This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition What I Built My first three ideas were a donation tracker, a volunteer matcher, and a transparency dashboard for a nonprofit. All fine.

  • Marcelo-Henry created tool Nebraska to uncover people behind packages
  • Tool ranks contributors based on contribution and support received
  • Many packages maintained by single person with no money acceptance
