Large-scale quantum computing is coming soon, and with that comes new cybersecurity threats. One of these threats is "steal now, decrypt later," where attackers harvest encrypted data and wait for quantum technology advancements to decrypt it. This article explores the threats quantum computing has on current encryption algorithms, and how crypto agility can help you safeguard your digital assets from steal now, decrypt later attacks.
It is not a question of if, but when quantum computing will arrive and be used for malicious purposes, as the expectation is that this new technology will be capable of cracking most, if not all, of the asymmetric cryptographic algorithms currently used to protect data. While quantum computing is not expected to arrive until 2030, the time is now for companies to get prepared for these threats that are related to this new technology. The question is, however, when and how they should prepare.
With post-quantum technology having the potential to trigger a new wave of cyber threats, we identify 10 steps that organizations should take to prepare.
2022 was a big year in the cryptographic security community. If you don’t have news alerts set up for the latest updates on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), here’s a quick overview
The threat of quantum computers is real and it could mean the end of encryption as we know it. Quantum computers are capable of performing calculations at a much faster rate than traditional computers, making them a powerful tool for breaking even the strongest encryption algorithms. What does this mean for data protection and how can you prepare for it?
When it comes to preparing for post-quantum computing, the legacy mechanisms for effective implementation, integration, and management of cryptography in business applications have raised severe technical, performance, and security issues. Cryptomathic’s Crypto Service Gateway (CSG) is an agile cryptographic platform that enables businesses to be better prepared for the threats posed by quantum computers.
This article discusses Accenture’s insights on crypto-agility that were derived from its recent research report on preparing for post-quantum decryption.
This article discusses how prepared companies are for quantum computing cybersecurity risks based on a recent Deloitte poll and what the current threats are.
Going forward, it is imperative for existing banks to develop a strategy for sustaining their current operations and expanding in a digitized, cyber-secured full-service model.
