Post-Quantum Questions to Ask Your Vendors
Summary
CISA, ASD's ACSC, and the NSA have released guidance to help organizations evaluate their vendors' preparedness for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This guidance is crucial as quantum computing advances threaten current public-key cryptography. The resources aim to ensure organizations can plan a secure and timely migration to PQC algorithms before cryptographically relevant quantum computers become available.
IFF Assessment
The guidance helps organizations proactively prepare for a significant cryptographic shift, which is beneficial for defenders.
Defender Context
As quantum computing capabilities grow, existing encryption methods will become vulnerable. Organizations need to assess their vendors' plans for migrating to post-quantum cryptography to protect sensitive data and systems from future threats.
