Thales and Quantinuum have jointly unveiled the PQC Starter Kit, a pioneering solution designed to assist enterprises in preparing for the era of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Released in response to the impending threat posed by quantum computing attacks, the kit facilitates swift and efficient testing of quantum-hardened PQC-ready encryption keys. As 73% of organizations acknowledge the vulnerability of traditional cryptography to quantum computing, the PQC Starter Kit becomes crucial for assessing and fortifying the security of business infrastructure. Todd Moore, Global Head of Data Security Products at Thales, emphasizes the importance of testing applications, data, and devices relying on traditional cryptography to ensure a seamless transition to PQC. The kit, incorporating Luna HSMs and Quantinuum’s Quantum Origin technology, enables organizations to test various security use cases within a trusted lab environment. The solution empowers enterprises to identify potential weaknesses in encryption deployment and implement changes to safeguard their IT infrastructure effectively.
