G7 urges organizations to prepare for quantum cyber threats
In a joint advisory released Thursday, the G7 Cyber Security Working Group and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA, said organizations should begin moving to post-quantum cryptography now.
Several of the world’s most powerful democracies are urging governments and companies to start preparing their systems for a future in which quantum computers could break widely-used forms of encryption.
In a joint advisory released Thursday, the G7 Cyber Security Working Group and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA, said organizations should begin moving to post-quantum cryptography now, rather than waiting until sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.
“Although the exact timeline is uncertain, several recent advances suggest an anticipation of the development of quantum computers,” the advisory said.
