Summary
Quantum security has gone from being a theoretical idea filed away for some unknown future date to an urgent requirement driven by quantum computing advances and government and industry guidance. The thought of nation-state adversaries with a quantum computer that can conduct harvest-now-decrypt later attacks and forge digital signatures makes the threat more real than ever to executives, who have started to ask security leaders, "Are we quantum safe?" With Q-day estimates now within 10 years and moving ever closer — and with NIST deprecating existing asymmetric algorithm support in 2030 (and disallowing it entirely by 2035), as well as the increasing nation-state threat — what should security leaders be doing now? Sandy Carielli, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why technology leaders must work together to prepare for Q-Day. Addressing quantum security requirements is not just a job for the security team. Security, infrastructure, development, emerging tech, risk, and procurement have roles to play in executing a holistic quantum security strategy. Sandy will cover their report, which security leaders should use, to gain executive buy-in and build and execute a quantum security migration plan with stakeholders across the organization.
