Post-Quantum Cryptography: Bridging the Awareness and Preparation Gap
Understanding the Post-Quantum Cryptography Landscape
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has become a focal point in the cybersecurity sector, especially with increasing threats from quantum computing. The need for robust security measures is evident, yet many organizations still lag in their readiness to adapt.
Entrust's Findings on Organizational Preparedness
According to Entrust, while awareness of PQC is significantly high, less than half of organizations are preparing for the transition. This disconnect raises questions about the readiness of the tech industry to evolve.
- Awareness vs. Action: Organizations recognize the potential threats posed by quantum computing.
- Scale and Technology Shortage: More than one-third of organizations lack adequate resources to transition effectively.
- Analysis of Risks: Without proper preparation, sensitive data could be at risk.
