Ready for a post-quantum world? The time to start is now
- Quantum computing advancements pose a threat to current encryption technology, potentially compromising data security in the future.
- Organizations need to prepare for a post-quantum world to mitigate cryptography risks and transition to quantum-safe solutions.
- The transition from classical to post-quantum cryptography requires a multiyear migration strategy and supports hybrid solutions.
- NIST released three post-quantum encryption standards in 2024, setting clear goals for implementation and migration roadmaps.
- Challenges include outdated applications, hardware limitations, and the need for crypto-agility in the face of evolving algorithms.
- Companies like IBM and others offer post-quantum solutions ranging from hardware to full-lifecycle migration support.
- Quantum Xchange, CryptoNext, and IBM provide tools for discovery, remediation, and management of post-quantum cryptographic assets.
- Various vendors offer quantum technologies like quantum key distribution, quantum random number generators, and post-quantum cryptographic libraries.
- Industries such as telecommunications, government agencies, and data centers are early adopters of post-quantum technologies for enhanced security.
- Enterprises are advised to establish cryptography task forces to coordinate post-quantum mitigation strategies across their organizations.
