Quantum Countdown: Are Your Secrets Ready for the PQC Revolution or Just a Quantum Leap of Faith?
As the clock ticks towards cryptographically relevant quantum computers, it’s time to stop hitting snooze on post quantum cryptography. Experts at Infosecurity Europe urge organizations to start prepping for this quantum leap, or risk their data being as exposed as a sunbather on a nude beach.
Hot Take:
Oh, the joys of quantum computers! Just when you thought your data was safe, along comes a machine that can crack encryption like a teenager hacking their way into a cookie jar. It’s not too late to start paying attention, folks—unless you fancy having your financial transactions and sensitive data laid out on a silver platter for all to see.
Key Points:
- Quantum computers pose a threat to current encryption methods, potentially exposing sensitive data.
- Transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is crucial and should start now.
- Organizations need to pressure vendors to demonstrate PQC readiness and provide cryptography bills of materials (CBOMs).
- Regulation could be a helping hand in securing board-level investment for post-quantum projects.
- CISOs should identify critical data and audit current cryptographic practices as initial steps.
