Google’s recent research suggests the quantum resources needed to break current encryption may be lower than previously thought.
In a recent article published by Quantum Zeitgeist, QuSecure forecasts a crucial shift in quantum security preparation. Rebecca Krauthamer, QuSecure CEO and Co-Founder, states:
“The next few years will not be defined by awareness of quantum risk. They will be defined by execution.”
The article advises three ways organizations can accelerate their quantum security in the migration to post-quantum cryptography.
1. Execution will overtake planning
2029 migration targets from Google, Cloudflare, and India are accelerating the shift to post-quantum cryptography. Instead of completing discovery and inventory before remediation, organizations are encouraged to pilot and incorporate phased implementation in parallel. Early migration allows for improved visibility into cryptographic systems and reduced cost.
2. Legacy systems will make non-disruptive migration the default
Legacy systems are complex and risky to upgrade quickly. To maintain operational stability, organizations should consider incremental non-disruptive upgrades for post-quantum migration instead of full system replacements.
3. Crypto-agility will become non-negotiable
With the evolving threat landscape and complex legacy systems, ripping and replacing systems is no longer sufficient. Implementing cryptographic agility allows organizations to rapidly update their cryptographic systems when new standards and algorithms emerge without rewrites or costly overhauls. QuSecure’s QuProtect R3 platform enables organizations to manage cryptographic inventories and maintain compliance with standards even in complex environments.
Organizations that take a proactive approach to future-proof their critical infrastructure and systems will be better positioned to successfully mitigate the quantum threat and maintain long-term resilience.
