The U.S. government has identified 16 critical infrastructure sectors whose assets, systems, and networks are essential to maintaining daily life and protecting the economic security, public health, and safety of the nation.
In these highly regulated industries, critical infrastructure operators must look to mitigate new risks that arise from the increased complexity of modern control systems; ensure their network systems remain safeguarded from the risks associated with emerging technologies and supply chain management; adhere to both federal and state cybersecurity regulations; and plan and prepare for future threats including the fast-approaching cryptographic break or Q-Day – when a quantum computer is available to break today’s encryption standards.
This three-page brief provides an overview of how to protect the nation’s vital industries from known and yet-to-be-discovered threats with quantum-safe solutions from Quantum Xchange.
