COMMENTARY Right now, a hacker is trying to steal your company's encrypted data from somewhere in the world This article explores quantum cryptography companies. . They can't read it yet, but the tools they need to do so are coming soon.
When it's ready, that technology will let criminals get around even the strongest traditional protections in just a few minutes. This kind of attack is part of a new "harvest-now, decrypt-later" strategy, and it is one of the most dangerous threats to businesses today. These attacks are different from regular cyberattacks because they don't cause damage right away and are hard to see. This testing will show what works perfectly, what needs to be updated, and what might need to be completely changed.
The results from this phase can help plan the full-scale migration by showing how long it will take, what resources will be needed, and how to lower the risks. But putting something into action is only half of it. To keep things safe, you need to keep an eye on them and be able to change your crypto.
Even after implementing strong post-quantum cryptography, companies need to set up rules to keep an eye on and keep track of how ready they are for quantum computing.
