To be clear, the quantum area is new. I like many am reading and learning, however, it’s so fring still far from enterprise or mainstream. However, this report I ran across from DigiCert & Ponemon Institute, may change how we think about this subject.

𝐀π₯𝐒𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:
In reviewing the report on quantum computing preparedness, it is clear that both individuals and organizations are grappling with the uncertainties and pressures surrounding this emerging technology. The industry is still in its early nascent stages, and mainstream adoption may be several years away. Yet, at the same time, the urgency to address quantum-related security issues is there.

The report highlights diverse representation across sectors, showing the broad impact and concern:

β—½22% in DevOps/DevSecOps
β—½21% in identity and access management
β—½14% in IT security/SEC ops
β—½11% in networking
β—½10% in risk and compliance
β—½10% in R&D/engineering

𝐂π₯𝐚𝐫𝐒𝐭𝐲:
Key findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive strategy to prepare for post-quantum computing threats:

β—½ Senior Leadership Understanding: Ensuring that leadership comprehends the significance of data security and allocates appropriate resources.
β—½Cryptographic Key Visibility: Gaining visibility into the types and characteristics of cryptographic keys used.
β—½Centralized Crypto-Management: Implementing a strategy that applies consistently across the enterprise.
β—½Timely Updates: Keeping cryptographic algorithms and technologies current.
β—½Adaptability: Enhancing the ability to adapt to changes in cryptography, including algorithm deprecation and quantum computing advancements.

As we all continue to research and develop in this area, it is crucial to acknowledge that there is an almost collective anxiety and a need for proactive measures. Organizations need to start thinking about this.

We do live in very interesting times…
