The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is urging organizations to prepare for quantum threats by adopting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) within the next decade. As quantum computing could compromise existing encryption methods, the NCSC outlines a timeline for organizations to update their cryptographic services. Key steps include identifying necessary upgrades by 2028, implementing high-priority migrations from 2028 to 2031, and fully transitioning to PQC by 2035. While the transition may be challenging for larger organizations, smaller businesses can rely on technology providers for necessary updates.
Quantum computing is set to revolutionize technology, but it also poses significant risks to current encryption methods, said NCSC chief technical officer Ollie Whitehouse.
Our new guidance on post-quantum cryptography provides a clear roadmap for organizations to safeguard their data against these future threats, helping to ensure that today's confidential information remains secure.
