Preparing for the Post-Quantum Era: A Call to Action
CISA and the Group of Seven (G7) Cyber Security Working Group released Preparing for the Post-Quantum Era: A Call to Action highlighting the urgent need for organizations and governments to begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect sensitive data, authentication systems, and critical assets from emerging quantum computing threats. The G7 Cyber Security Working Group’s call to action outlines five priorities for a successful transition to PQC: Raising awareness of quantum risks and the importance of PQC; Developing national strategies that support PQC adoption and integration; Advancing research and development for quantum-safe technologies; Fostering public-private partnerships to share expertise and resources; and Integrating PQC into cybersecurity requirements and procurement processes. Please share your thoughts! We welcome your feedback. CISA PRODUCT SURVEY
