It is imperative for organisations to begin transition to PQC to meet 2030 deadline

The Australian Signals Directorate has now established 2030 as the deadline for depreciation of common encryption methods and a move towards quantum-resistant protection standards. It is imperative that organisations begin their transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) now, to allow sufficient time to manage its complexities and reduce their valuable data currently exposed to quantum threats.

Adversaries have already begun harvesting encrypted data with the aim of breaking it once quantum technology is sufficiently advanced. The longer an organisation delays its transition to PQC, the longer its data remains exposed to these threats, increasing the potential severity of future breaches and the risk of operational disruptions.

Organisations looking to safeguard their information, prevent service disruptions, and ensure alignment with emerging standards and regulations can start today with KPMG’s Quantum Care framework.
