"A Practical Framework to Prepare for the Post-Quantum Future"

The world is becoming aware of the threat posed by adversaries equipped with quantum computers. Andersen Cheng, CEO of Post-Quantum, a cybersecurity company specializing in quantum-safe security and identity solutions, believes the OODA framework, pioneered by US Air Force Colonel John Boyd, could be used to help prepare for the post-quantum future. According to Cheng, the findings of each organization's analysis and the steps taken are likely to differ, but for those wondering where to begin, OODA is well suited to structure the road to quantum safety. The first step is identifying the problem and gaining an awareness of the internal and external environments. The next step is to analyze what has been discovered and what should be done next. The third phase is to make suggestions for a response strategy after you have contextualized your company and identified risk exposure. The final step is to carry out the decision and any relevant changes that are required as a result of the decision. This article continues to discuss the potential use of the OODA framework to prepare for the post-quantum future.
