Understanding the Quantum Cybersecurity Risk: U.S. Government Guidance Toward Building Quantum Resiliency


Event Date: April 16, 2024

The quantum computing threat is a clear and imminent danger, having the potential to completely disrupt all secured data, information systems and infrastructure. As we enter the quantum computing era, adopting a post-quantum crypto-agile encryption posture should be one of the top priorities agencies adopt and employ to fortify their proactive stance in cybersecurity.

During this webinar, attendees learned about quantum computing power and the threat quantum computers pose to our current cryptographic systems. John Leiseboer, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of QuintessenceLabs, and Bob Gourley, Chief Technology Officer of OODA LLC, reviewed the measures both industry and government agencies are taking to mitigate the quantum computing threat through the use of new and advanced technologies, NIST approved encryption algorithms and U.S. government directives and initiatives.

Key takeaways included:

  • An overview of the state of quantum computing and data security today
  • Plotting a pathway to crypto-agility and quantum resilience
    • Quantum Resistant Algorithms (QRA)
    • Post-Quantum Crypto-Agile Key Management (PQC KMS)
    • Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG)
    • Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
  • Following the U.S. government guidance for post-quantum cryptography

Reimagine recruitment for the next generation

It’s no secret that the job market is currently facing a complicated mix of opportunities and challenges. For government agencies in particular, one main challenge is attracting talent from careers in the private sector. And there’s a lot at stake. On one hand, according to Governing, government employees are increasingly looking to accelerate their retirement, and the White House is also reporting that up to 30% of the US workforce will be eligible to retire in the next five years. What’s more, many of these jobs are highskill and difficult to replace. And because the average age of government employees is high, it’s crucial to recruit young talent that can potentially establish a long career in government—all while filling those skill gaps. On the other hand, employee experience in the public sector is trailing other industries. According to Forrester, only 43% of government workers are satisfied with their job at their agency (compared to 54% in other industries). In short, the public sector competes for the same talent as the private sector—but attracting and retaining that talent is where things can be a bit tricky. Access this resource to learn more!
