IBM GCM Quantum Safe Lab Series
Welcome to the IBM Guardium Cryptography Manager (GCM) Quantum Safe hands-on lab series. These labs guide you through the end-to-end journey of discovering, analyzing, and remediating cryptographic risk in preparation for a post-quantum world.
What You'll Learn
By completing this lab series, you will be able to:
- Discover and inventory all cryptographic assets across your environment using a Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM)
- Analyze cryptographic risk and enforce quantum-safe policies using IBM Guardium Cryptography Manager
- Migrate cryptographic secrets to a managed vault using HashiCorp Vault
- Automatically remediate legacy applications with Quantum Safe Remediator (QSR)
Lab Series Overview
| Lab | Title | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Discover and Inventory CBOM | Quantum Safe Explorer (QSE), IBM Bob |
| 2 | Analysis, Policy & Migration | Guardium Cryptography Manager, HashiCorp Vault |
| 3 | Adaptive Remediation | Quantum Safe Remediator (QSR) |
Background
The quantum computing era poses an existential threat to today's public-key cryptography. IBM's Quantum Safe portfolio provides an end-to-end framework for organizations to discover, manage, and migrate their cryptographic posture before quantum computers break current encryption standards.
