AQtive Guard has been named one of SC Media’s Best Emerging Technologies in 2025. This recognition highlights the urgent need for unified cryptographic management as enterprises confront rising risks—from AI-powered threats to future quantum decryption. Today, many organizations can’t answer three basic questions: What cryptography are we using? Where is it deployed? Is it secure? AQtive Guard gives security teams greater visibility and control over their cryptographic environments—mapping every key, certificate, and algorithm across the entire IT infrastructure to expose hidden vulnerabilities and automating policy enforcement at scale. Enterprises need strong encryption for Zero Trust initiatives, regulatory compliance and protecting sensitive data. AQtive Guard delivers a centralized solution to discover, manage, and protect all of your cryptographic assets.

What’s next after chatbots? Join Steve Nouri, GenAI.Works and Stefan Leichenauer from SandboxAQ as they explore how AI is evolving—from text generation to scientific simulation. While LLMs changed how we interact with data, they fall short in solving problems that demand precision and deterministic outcomes. That’s where Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) come in. In this session, you’ll hear: - How AI is accelerating scientific discovery - Why LQMs are essential for real-world problem-solving - What Quantitative AI looks like in action It’s not theory. It’s happening right now. Tune in here: https://lnkd.in/gySc3cbs
