Unisys has launched a cryptographic posture assessment as a part of its cybersecurity solutions, aimed at enhancing organizations' resilience against future quantum threats. This service offers a comprehensive analysis of an organization's cryptographic environment, identifying potential vulnerabilities and recommending actionable steps to improve security.
Quantum computing is poised to change many industries by enabling rapid and complex simulations. However, this same computational power poses a risk of breaking existing cryptographic algorithms in seconds, which could compromise sensitive data. Unisys’s new offerings aim to counter these risks by helping organizations adopt suitable post-quantum cryptographic algorithms and develop effective migration strategies.
Manju Naglapur, senior vice president at Unisys, noted, “While quantum computers are several years away from commercial availability, the risk of data theft now exists for decryption later by malicious actors.” The service set focuses on guiding organizations through the challenges of post-quantum encryption, providing a framework to protect their IT infrastructure.
Looking ahead, Unisys plans to expand its offerings with additional capabilities, including:
- PQC strategy and consulting services to create tailored roadmap transitions based on organizational goals.
- PQC infrastructure modernization services, incorporating resistant technologies like quantum key management.
- Crypto-agility services to maintain and enhance cyber posture based on ongoing assessments of organizations' needs.
Unisys has also partnered with the Chicago Quantum Exchange to foster industry applications for quantum technology and cultivate talent in the quantum space. This collaboration aims to enhance quantum resiliency and data protection through Unisys’s emerging PQC services.
