The technological evolution driven by IoT and 5G networks has posed the priority in implementing stronger cryptographic systems, raising the need for security at the edge. Near-term, quantum technologies provide a radically new toolset to realize stronger encryption systems.

Thus, the only efficient solution for a cybersecurity environment is not so much to just rely on post-quantum algorithms, but to have a crypto-agile cybersecurity architecture. This fact allows for a quick and efficient change of the cryptographic primitives used while always being up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in cybersecurity. This is the only way to guarantee, to the maximum extent possible, the effectiveness and efficiency of communications cybersecurity.

What do we mean by "protect" the data or data security? There is a complete set of processes and practices created to protect the data for all the types of data security and all of them apply to the three core components of data security: Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.

You may have already heard about the upcoming transition to quantum-safe cybersecurity as an urgent response to the cybersecurity threats posed by quantum computers. Now, with the threat identified, what solutions do we have available out there?

Quantum technology is a class of technology exploiting the principles of quantum mechanics (the physics of sub-atomic particles), including quantum entanglement, quantum superposition and uncertainty principle.

The cloud computing service model today is established and almost all companies are embracing a strategy of “go to cloud”, both in part and in full. Depending on a company’s requirements it could be a public, private or hybrid cloud service.
