The challenges facing information security today are greater and more complex than ever before. We all know just how severe the risks of an attack are. 

With so many cyber threats knocking at the door, security experts already have their plates full. Looking further ahead can feel overwhelming, but the reality is that the ‘fix it when it breaks’ approach just isn’t viable when it comes to information security. 

Those that fail to prepare for future threats must, unfortunately, prepare to fail. And when it comes to quantum, that failure could be pretty colossal. 

With their formidable computing power, quantum machines will represent one of the greatest threats yet posed to information security. 

At PQShield, our world-class researchers and engineers are leading contributors to the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process. We help business leaders and technical experts understand the reality of the quantum threat, and provide the technology they need to transition from legacy to quantum-safe systems, ready to face the threats of tomorrow.

Our new white paper series contains everything you need to know to start protecting your own business, from understanding the threat to preparing for new cryptography standards.
