The Race Against Quantum Threats: Making Business Communication Quantum-Safe

Enterprises today should be racing to prepare for “Q Day,” the day when quantum computers will be powerful enough to break the encryption algorithms currently used to protect digital communication and data.

The process of making an enterprise quantum-ready should begin with the mission-critical step of quantum-proofing digital communication.

While Q Day is not yet here, quantum threats exist today, creating an urgent imperative for enterprises to transition to quantum-safe encryption (known as PQC - post-quantum cryptography) NOW.

Gartner predicts that advances in quantum computing will make asymmetric cryptography (such as RSA and ECC) unsafe by 2029 and fully breakable by 2034.

Does that mean enterprises have four years to quantum-proof communication?

No!

Cybercriminals are already collecting vast amounts of encrypted data in anticipation of decrypting it when quantum computers become available. Known as harvest now, decrypt later (HNDL) attacks, these attacks make today’s encrypted business communication vulnerable to exposure in the era of quantum computing.

Enterprises that deploy quantum-safe communication and collaboration platforms will ensure that business communication and data remain secure and compliant today and in the quantum future.

Quantum-proofing business communication

Communication and collaboration platforms are mission-critical in enterprises and should be a top priority when it comes to implementing PQC.

Quantum-proofing business communication is easy with NetSfere.

NetSfere’s mobile messaging and collaboration platform is quantum-safe. With NetSfere, organizations don’t have to do anything other than enjoy worry-free, secure, compliant communication and collaboration.

NetSfere features National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-approved ML-KEM 1024 quantum-proof encryption. This encryption not only meets the latest U.S. federal agency requirements but also aligns with international security standards across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Pairing true end-to-end encryption with quantum-resistant algorithms, NetSfere’s cutting-edge platform provides enterprises worldwide with secure, resilient, and robust messaging technology that will protect data today and in tomorrow’s quantum era.

Benefits of quantum-proofing communication with NetSfere

NetSfere’s quantum-safe mobile messaging platform delivers a wide range of mission critical benefits to enterprises including:

Future proofing the security of business communication – NetSfere ensures cryptoagility for organizations, future-proofing business communication against the threats of today and tomorrow. This quantum resiliency mitigates the risk of data breaches and the damaging consequences of these breaches including fines, loss of customer trust, and long-term reputational damage.

Ensuring compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape – Governments today are providing guidance or setting specific timelines for PQC migration. More regulatory requirements will evolve as quantum technology continues to develop. NetSfere’s advanced end-to-end encryption and quantum-resistant algorithms ensure compliance with existing and evolving regulatory frameworks.

Maintaining customer trust – As stewards of an ever increasing amount of data, companies must secure their communication to protect sensitive data and information. NetSfere’s quantum-safe mobile messaging platform locks down this information, preventing cyber criminals from accessing data and helping enterprises maintain customer trust in the digital-first era.

Meeting data retention requirements - Sensitive data such as financial records, personally identifiable information (PII), and electronic protected health information (ePHI), require long-term availability and confidentiality. NetSfere provides secure, centralized data storage that meets business requirements for data retention and control while satisfying legal and regulatory requirements for archiving messages.

And the best benefit of all is that quantum-safe, secure, compliant communication is easy with NetSfere.
