Card industry braces for security threats from quantum computing | And an increasing number of firms are investing in quantum computing, reports IDC, adding the companies that are investing more than 17% of their IT budgets on quantum computing will nearly triple in the next two years. Among those investing in quantum, 20% are already using it and 66% will begin using it in the next two years. The use cases most cited are accelerated business development and artificially intelligence enhancement. Source: AMERICAN BANKER. Card industry braces for security threats from quantum computing…
Quantum Xchange Strengthens Priseda’s National Private Network for Resiliency with Advanced Quantum Security | The Priseda backup and recovery network is used by leading systems integrators, commercial businesses, and government agencies to ensure mission-critical data is continuously protected against natural disaster, cyberattacks, or other business disruptions. Quantum Xchange will provide a quantum-safe encryption architecture to secure the Priseda Network, and the data communications of its clients, with the strongest form of encryption available.

The Future of Data Encryption: What You Need to Know Now | Given enough computing power, however, a sophisticated adversary could crack an encryption code. So, encryption involves a kind of arms race. As processors become more powerful — following Moore’s law, roughly doubling in transistor density about every two years — adversaries have a greater chance of breaking encryption keys. To stay ahead, the high-tech industry works to develop ever more advanced encryption algorithms and increase encryption key sizes. Source: FedTech.

Code-X Introduces First Commercially Available Lattice-Based Data Protection Platform Validated by the United States Department of Defense | Code-X today emerged from stealth to launch the first-ever commercially available lattice-based data protection platform validated by the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DOD) and intelligence community. The Code-X platform was recently tested under extreme conditions by the U.S. DOD and members of the intelligence community and both validated its ability to protect sensitive information and critical systems across multiple environments simultaneously. The U.S. DOD testing also validated that the Code-X platform increases packet management, network throughput, storage redundancy and continuity while reducing overall processing requirements.
