The SCA-QS research project has introduced a new security model for IoT networks to counter the threat of quantum-enabled hacking.

Researchers have developed post-quantum secure algorithms like PQ-IDS and NR-GTRU based on lattice cryptography.

The shift towards post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is essential to protect data from quantum threats that could decrypt current encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC within seconds.

The U.S. government and NIST are already working on developing PQC algorithms to address this cybersecurity threat.

Organizations are urged to assess the risk, plan for migration, and establish crypto-agility to defend against quantum-enabled attacks.

CISOs must take proactive steps now to safeguard their organizations in the post-quantum era.
