Challenges

1) External developers’ access to secrets (passwords, credentials, keys) in code.
You never fully know what an external developer might do with the code, or how well (or poorly) their own machine is secured. How can this be handled so they can work efficiently, without the risk of secrets leaking into unauthorized hands?

2)  Secure transfer of certificates intended to be uploaded into your hardware, when the manufacturing happens far away in Asia, outside of your direct control.

3)  How to quickly and easily deploy honeypots in Active Directory and monitor attacker behavior inside them.

4) Monitoring large volumes of cyber threat reports and extracting relevant insights is extremely time-consuming — how can AI help make this process faster and more effective?

5) How to secure network communication (for example in trains) running on legacy hardware that cannot support post-quantum encryption — without massive costs or a full hardware replacement.
