The G7 cybersecurity working group is urging governments and organizations to accelerate migration to post-quantum cryptography before quantum computers can undermine today’s public key encryption. The report warns that quantum risk is already a business and economic issue, and calls for coordinated planning to protect sensitive data, authentication systems, and secure communications. #G7 #PQC #CISA #NCSC #ANSSI #BSI #CSE #NCO #ACN
Keypoints
- The G7 working group says organizations must not delay post-quantum cryptography migration.
- Quantum threats are already relevant because sensitive encrypted data can be harvested now and decrypted later.
- Quantum computers could also weaken authentication and secure contract mechanisms.
- Governments and industry are being urged to inventory critical systems and adopt crypto-agility.
- The report was backed by agencies including CISA, NCSC, ANSSI, BSI, CSE, NCO, and ACN.
