Cloud CISO Perspectives: Prepare early for PQC to be resilient against tomorrow’s cryptographic threats
- Christiane Peters from Google Cloud discusses the urgency of preparing for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to combat future cryptographic threats.
- Post-quantum cryptography adoption is on the rise, with the need for active deployment becoming increasingly pressing sooner than expected.
- Key risks of cryptographically-relevant quantum computers (CRQC) include Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks and potential digital signature forgery.
- Implementing PQC is a lengthy process, similar to the Y2K movement, but essential for defending against quantum threats in the 21st century.
- Organizations, including NIST, are working on quantum-safe cryptographic standards to transition public-key cryptosystems by 2035.
- Google Cloud has introduced quantum-safe digital signatures as part of their Key Management Service, emphasizing the importance of PQC readiness.
- Business leaders are advised to develop a roadmap for implementing quantum-resistant cryptography and conducting thorough risk assessments.
- Prepare for system-wide effects and learn from past experiences to facilitate a smooth transition to post-quantum cryptography.
- Early action is crucial to ensure a seamless shift to quantum-resistant cryptography and stay ahead of evolving technology expectations.
- Sign up for the Google Cloud CISO Community and visit the post-quantum cryptography hub for more information on PQC readiness.
- Stay informed about the latest security updates, products, and threat intelligence insights from Google Cloud to enhance your cybersecurity posture.
