Summary

Hide ▲

G7 member-state cybersecurity agencies issued quantum-safe encryption mitigation guidance urging governments and organizations to start their PQC transition now. The guidance tells them to first identify critical systems and assets and prioritize those for migration. It recommends a phased, risk-based plan that inventories cryptographic assets, maps dependencies, and adopts PQC-enabled products during normal renewal cycles.

    G7 urges governments and organizations to begin quantum-safe encryption migration

    Initial Disclosure

    The G7 Cybersecurity Working Group, led by ANSSI and supported by the EU Commission and ENISA, issued a September 3 call urging governments and organizations to treat quantum computing as a near-term threat to public-key cryptography and begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography. The guidance calls for identifying the systems holding the most critical data and assets, inventorying cryptographic assets, mapping dependencies, developing a phased risk-based transition plan, and adopting PQC-enabled products during standard renewal cycles.
