Be prepared for the Quantum Threat
Best Practices
Here is a collection of suggested actions related to hardware and software that can be implemented to protect an organization from quantum computer attacks. By following these best practices, you can reduce risks, safeguard sensitive data now and in the future, and remain in compliance with cutting-edge cybersecurity standards.
Protect your Hardware
Connected end-points and gateways will most likely be the entry points for hackers; protect your edge devices with embedded secure elements that are optimized to run quantum resistant algorithms and can withstand a quantum computer attack.
Conduct a Cryptographic Inventory
Identify where cryptography is used throughout your organization, across software, communications, and hardware devices.
Adopt Hybrid Cryptography
Use a combination of classical and post-quantum algorithms to ensure systems are secure both today and in the future.
Begin Pilots with PQC
Test and implement post-quantum cryptographic algorithms within your systems through pilot programs.
Collaborate with Industry Standards
Work with organizations like NIST, which is actively developing standards for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.
