HNDL is a cyber-espionage tactic where threat actors intercept and store encrypted data for future decryption using quantum computers.
Organizations are urged to prepare for post-quantum cryptography by understanding their data, reviewing cryptographic protocols, and adopting crypto-agility.
The National Security Agency, NIST, and CISA have issued guidance on post-quantum cryptography to defend against the HNDL threat.
Preparing for quantum decryption risks now can reduce the vulnerability to HNDL attacks in the future, ensuring data security and compliance.
