In this insightful webinar, Leah Toms from Sectigo’s marketing team welcomes attendees to this discussion on preparing for quantum computing threats. The session delves into the immediate steps organizations must take to ensure they are quantum-ready.

The participants begin by addressing the significant risks that quantum computers pose to RSA and ECC encryption methods. They highlight 2030 as a pivotal year by which these algorithms need to be deprecated due to the rapid advancements in quantum computing.

The webinar introduces Sectigo’s QUANT model, an actionable framework designed to guide enterprises in their preparation for quantum threats. The QUANT model emphasizes the need for a detailed inventory of cryptographic assets and an assessment of risks related to encrypted data.

Steps to Quantum Readiness

The participants outline the importance of understanding and prioritizing risks. They emphasize the necessity of collaborating with security partners and vendors to ensure comprehensive readiness. The discussion also covers the implementation of hybrid cryptography solutions and the gradual transition to quantum-safe cryptography.

The speakers provide practical advice on deploying quantum-safe cryptographic solutions. They discuss the importance of maintaining an ongoing, updated inventory of cryptographic assets and ensuring that organizational strategies are agile and adaptable.
