Finserv Experts has for the past three years been investing in building our capability around quantum resilience. Criminal enterprises are among the earliest adopters of emerging technologies because they have a natural first-mover advantage: no requirement for governance, compliance, or ethical engagement with their user community.
This has happened with every new technology: mobile, IoT, blockchain, digital currency, even the internet itself. But when it happens with quantum computing, the results are going to be much more severe, since it will render all current encryption methods trivial to crack.
Unfortunately, the reality is that few companies are going to be able to convince their boards to invest in quantum resilience until the crisis is already upon us, but there is still something you can do to help yourself be ready for Q-day. Even if you aren’t ready to migrate to quantum-resilient algorithms now, you can still invest in putting together a Q-day response plan, so that you are able to move quickly when the time comes.
We have already put together such plans for some of our clients who are thinking ahead of this emerging crisis. If you’d like to understand what’s involved, please get in touch for a free initial consultation.
