With over 80% of data breaches linked to compromised credentials and cryptographic key mismanagement, securing encryption keys is more critical than ever. Cryptographic key management is at the core of protecting sensitive data on IBM Z, but handling keys effectively remains a complex challenge. In this session, we’ll explore the fundamentals of cryptography on Z, covering key generation, maintenance, and lifecycle management. We'll discuss best practices for minimising key exposure, preventing key compromise, and implementing secure key rotation strategies. Gain insights into the key anatomy, storage mechanisms and compliance mandates based on industry standards. Join to learn how to protect, manage, and optimise cryptographic keys on IBM Z!
