• Amidst all the noise around quantum computing, this article aims to help organisations move beyond the hype and focus on practical steps developers and teams can take to prepare for what’s ahead. • Since my previous article on the topic of quantum - Separating FUD from Practical for Post-Quantum Cryptography - there have been a few notable developments that I would like to give an update on while also running through actionable steps that can be taken right now. • In the first part of this article, I’ll look at the standards and protocol work that needs to happen behind the scenes. • In the second part, I’ll then turn to application integration and concrete steps enterprises and SaaS providers can take to prepare their own environments. • To start, here are six steps that must occur in order for enterprises and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers to enable use of the specified algorithms or alternative solutions: - NIST has continued their important work leading the evaluation and selection of algorithms suitable to protect data against known quantum threats. • See NIST for the current status of selected algorithms by cryptographic algorithm category.
