Overview Of Our Service

Exploring the potential of quantum technologies in business is exciting, but it comes with challenges, particularly in cryptography. We are here to assist you in safeguarding your enterprise by offering insights into potential quantum risks and aiding in becoming quantum cyber-ready. Our expertise can guide you in understanding and mitigating quantum threats, ensuring your enterprise is prepared for the quantum era through secure modernization.

As the Post-Quantum Cryptographic (PQC) standards continue to evolve, leading agencies such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) advise organizations to develop a quantum-readiness roadmap. This strategic approach assists in planning and defining the scope of the organization’s transition to PQC; leveraging our expertise can guide you in initiating proactive cryptographic discovery activities to assess your organization’s current dependence on quantum-vulnerable cryptography.

Why Now Is the Time to Prepare For Post Quantum Cryptography?

CISA, NSA, and NIST are highlighting the need for organizations to start planning with quantum-readiness roadmaps, inventories, and risk assessments, recognizing that a successful migration to post-quantum cryptography demands thoughtful and timely preparation.

Privacy Impact

Quantum computers can intercept and decrypt digital exchanges, risking the exposure of private and sensitive information, leading to severe reputational impacts for organizations.

HNDL Attacks

The threat of attackers intercepting encrypted data transmissions for future decryption once quantum computers are capable, particularly concerning industries with long data shelf-lives.

Data Breach Costs

With average costs per data breach reaching $4.35 million, quantum threats could escalate these costs, emphasizing the urgency for urgent measures.

Key Risks of Post-Quantum Advancements

The foundational algorithms in contemporary cryptographic systems have always proven resistant to attacks, even from the most powerful computers. However, the emerging quantum computing advancements have the potential to break the advanced public-key cryptography algorithms, with hash functions or symmetric algorithms being comparatively less susceptible.

This would lead to organizations becoming vulnerable to attacks like “gather now, decrypt later,” where bad actors can acquire and store encrypted data presently with the intention of decrypting it in the future.

Quantum threat timeline

The need to put measures is now considering the long migration time to assess, strategize, and implement quantum-safe solutions before the threats become imminent. Organizations need to be mindful of the shelf life of their data as information with a longer shelf life needs to be kept secure from the rising quantum threats like harvest now decrypt later that pose security risks that would lead to data breaches and reputational damage. The threat timeline is continuously shrinking, with advancements in quantum technology posing dangerous threats to your organization.
