Post-quantum security leaders signal new alliance with white paper to outline their vision of a post-quantum cryptography transition.
Four players in post-quantum security have formed a new alliance to assist the acceleration of the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
Thales, IBM, Keyfactor, and Quantinuum have come together to form the Quantum-Safe 360 Alliance, warning that quantum computers may be able to break existing levels of encryption by 2030, about five years earlier than predicted.
“As cyber threats evolve, no single organisation can tackle the challenge of quantum readiness alone,” Blair Canavan, alliances director, PQC cyber security product portfolio at Thales, said in a statement.
“By working together through the alliance, we’re bringing together decades of HSM, high-speed encryption, and key management expertise to deliver a clear, actionable roadmap for post-quantum readiness. Our goal is to further cryptographic collaboration across our partnerships and customers, ensuring organisations are adequately preparing to safeguard sensitive data against future threats.”
The new alliance has released its first white paper, Digital Trust and Cybersecurity in the Era of Quantum Computing, which is a guide for organisations wishing to start their post-quantum cryptography journey.
“Quantum computing is no longer a distant possibility – it’s an impending reality. Organisations must start their transition to quantum-safe security today to protect sensitive data and infrastructure,” Ted Shorter, CTO of Keyfactor, said.
“However, there is no single solution that can ensure a successful PQC transition. The Quantum-Safe 360 Alliance is built on the principle that collaboration is essential to navigating this complex and critical transformation, reinforcing the idea that we are stronger together in securing the future of digital trust.”
