SHARED INTEL Q&A: Forrester highlights why companies need to strive for ‘cryptoagility’– today
- Forrester emphasizes the need for companies to start transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography immediately, as the threat of quantum decryption looms.
- Nation-state actors are already accumulating encrypted data for potential future decryption using quantum computers.
- Major tech companies like Amazon, Google, and IBM are quickly adopting post-quantum cryptography, but the process is lengthy for most organizations.
- Forrester experts recommend organizations focus on inventorying cryptographic dependencies and upgrading key management to enhance security.
- Quantum security is not just a future concern but a current one, as powerful quantum computers may already exist.
- The transition to quantum-safe solutions can take three to five years due to the complexities involved in updating encryption methods.
- Organizations are advised to engage with vendors to understand their post-quantum cryptography migration plans.
- Cryptoagility, the ability to adapt quickly to new encryption standards, is being highlighted as crucial for security resilience.
- Financial services and government sectors are leading in implementing quantum-safe solutions due to the sensitivity of the data they handle.
- The first step for organizations to prepare for quantum security is to conduct a cryptographic inventory to prioritize migration to quantum-safe solutions.
