Preparing for the Post-Quantum Era: A Call to Action
CISA and the G7 Cyber Security Working Group urge organizations to begin post-quantum cryptography migration, outlining five transition priorities.
CISA and the G7 Cyber Security Working Group jointly released "Preparing for the Post-Quantum Era: A Call to Action". The document urges governments and organizations to begin migrating sensitive data, authentication systems, and critical assets to post-quantum cryptography against emerging quantum computing threats. It defines five priorities: raising quantum-risk awareness, national PQC strategies, quantum-safe R&D, public-private partnerships, and integrating PQC into cybersecurity requirements and procurement.
- Five priorities: awareness, national strategies, quantum-safe R&D, partnerships, procurement integration
- Targets protection of sensitive data, authentication systems, and critical assets from quantum threats

CISA and the Group of Seven (G7) Cyber Security Working Group released Preparing for the Post-Quantum Era: A Call to Action highlighting the urgent need for organizations and governments to begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect sensitive data, authentication systems, and critical assets from emerging quantum computing threats.
The G7 Cyber Security Working Group’s call to action outlines five priorities for a successful transition to PQC:
- Raising awareness of quantum risks and the importance of PQC;
- Developing national strategies that support PQC adoption and integration;
- Advancing research and development for quantum-safe technologies;
- Fostering public-private partnerships to share expertise and resources; and
- Integrating PQC into cybersecurity requirements and procurement processes.
