"IBM Unveils End-To-End, Quantum-Safe Tools to Secure Business, Government Data"

IBM has introduced a new set of quantum-safe, end-to-end security tools and capabilities designed to protect organizations and government agencies as we enter the post-quantum computing era. Quantum-Safe technology, as announced at the company's annual Think conference in Orlando, Florida, integrates cryptography and critical infrastructure expertise to address the potential future security risks posed by quantum computing. IBM also introduced the Quantum-Safe Roadmap to help industries transition to post-quantum cryptography. Experts and scientists predict that quantum computers will one day be able to break commonly used encryption methods, exposing email, secure banking, cryptocurrencies, and communications systems to significant cybersecurity threats. Organizations, technology providers, and Internet standards will be required to adopt quantum-safe encryption. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has launched a competition to identify and standardize quantum-safe encryption algorithms. NATO has already begun testing quantum-safe solutions to investigate the feasibility and practicality of such technology for real-world applications. In addition, the National Security Agency (NSA) announced new requirements for national security systems to transition to quantum-safe algorithms by 2025, and the White House issued requirements for federal agencies to submit a cryptographic inventory of systems that may be vulnerable to attacks from cryptographically-relevant quantum computers. This article continues to discuss IBM's new set of tools and capabilities designed as an end-to-end, quantum-safe solution as well as the roadmap.
