4 key steps to prepare for post-quantum cryptography

Advancements in quantum computing are expected to make cryptography standards unsafe by as early as 2029.1 This means encryption resistant to quantum computing-powered decryption will soon be a necessity for every business. To address this looming threat, as well as “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks that are already a present threat, your organization should consider these 4 key steps to prepare for post-quantum cryptography.

. Assess your organization’ssensitive data and existing cryptographic protocols

. Identify which of your assets need to be prioritized

. Begin testing new quantum-resistant algorithms in your environment

. Commence your full-scale transition and start moving into production
