PREPARING TO BECOME QUANTUM-RESISTANT? WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE QUANTUM RESISTANT TODAY.
As the threat of Quantum computing looms, the urgency of achieving quantum resistance in our cryptographic systems cannot be overstated. All data we encrypt today is quantum-vulnerable, necessitating a transition from quantum-vulnerable security infrastructures to quantum-resistant alternatives. The data we protect today with conventional algorithms and public key infrastructures is at risk due to the potential for ‘harvest and decrypt’ cyber-attacks in the future. Much of the sensitive data we protect today has a long shelf life, such as identities, government secrets and intellectual property, so it has potential long-term value to threat actors.
Long-term data protection, in the form of quantum-resistant encryption, is a standard feature of Senetas CypherNET encryptors. They are already protecting today’s data against future quantum computing threats. This highlights the importance of adopting crypto-agile solutions that offer quantum-resistance now. Senetas CypherNET high-speed network encryptors deliver quantum-resistant security and maximum network performance. Legacy solutions, such as IPsec do not. CypherNET encryptors enable maximum confidentiality of sensitive data without compromising on performance.
