🔐 Cryptographic Resilience: A Critical Step in Securing the Future of Your Organization A recent World Economic Forum article highlights a critical point for business executives and security leaders: adopting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms alone is not enough. True resilience requires a deeper level of preparation. 🔑 To guide this preparation, leaders should ask themselves the tough questions: - What are the implications for our organization if new PQC algorithms are broken without advanced warning? - Do we have sufficient defense in depth so that short-term losses and disruptions would be survivable? - Do we have alternative cryptographic capabilities to protect our data? - Do we have a recovery strategy that ensures full operation in an acceptable timeframe? The time to start building this resilience is now, before quantum threats become a reality: https://okt.to/g30QeJ Reach out to Keyfactor to learn how to improve cryptoagility—ensuring you’re ready for whatever the future holds: https://okt.to/dXP3Fe #Cybersecurity #Cryptoagility #PQC #QuantumComputing #DigitalTrust
