Security News > 2022 > September > Q-Day doesn’t equal doomsday: Enacting an enterprise quantum security strategy

Q-Day represents the day that quantum computers will reliably use the superpositioning power of multi-state qubits to break encryption algorithms that are widely used around the world to enable e-commerce, data security and secure communications.

With such threats on the horizon, many organizations are facing the same challenge - implementing a strong quantum security strategy ahead of Q-Day to protect themselves and their customers from quantum attacks.

Identifying these vulnerabilities early will help teams ensure that they are developing an effective quantum security strategy from the start.

Even before NIST officially ratifies its PQC candidate algorithms, organizations should start to perform an internal quantum vulnerability assessment, create a quantum security strategy and develop a PQC migration plan.

While there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for quantum cybersecurity, the steps outlined above are ways to ensure that a strong and universally applicable, risk-based quantum security strategy is enacted throughout the organization.

Having a quantum security strategy does not mean an organization can let its guard down.
