In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released the first three finalized post-quantum encryption standards , a major step toward protecting digital infrastructure from quantum threats . This initiative aligns with the National Security Memorandum 10 and is supported by agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which have developed roadmaps to direct the shift to quantum-resilient systems. Lamont Copeland , Senior Director of Federal Solutions Architecture at Verizon, and Jim Westdorp, Chief Technical Officer at Ciena Government Solutions Inc., spoke with the Government Technology Insider podcast host, Matt Langan, to unpack how quantum technology is evolving and its effects on cybersecurity for both military and civilian agencies. Additionally, they explored the urgency of implementing post-quantum cryptographic standards, strategies for quantum readiness, and the growing role of edge computing and IoT in securing data.","meta_description":"Federal government agencies are taking steps to prepare for the impact of quantum computing, especially in the area of cybersecurity.
