To stay ahead of the curve, Australian agencies are now being encouraged to transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) by 2030. This shift isn’t just about future tech—it’s about protecting the sensitive data of today from the “Store Now, Decrypt Later” risks of tomorrow.
As we move toward a quantum-resistant future, the window for strategic implementation is opening now.
“Encryption underpins trust in digital systems,” Andrew Wilson, Chief Executive Officer, Senetas said. “Once quantum capability reaches a certain threshold, today’s public-key encryption becomes vulnerable.
