BLUE BELL, PA — Unisys (NYSE: UIS) has unveiled a new set of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) capabilities and services, designed to help organizations prepare for the emerging cybersecurity risks posed by quantum computing. The initial offering, a cryptographic posture assessment, enables organizations to identify vulnerabilities in their cryptographic systems and take actionable steps to protect sensitive data.
Quantum computing, while promising breakthroughs in data processing and complex simulations, also poses a significant cybersecurity threat. Future quantum computers could render current encryption methods ineffective, allowing encrypted data stolen today to be decrypted later. Unisys’ PQC services aim to mitigate this risk, equipping organizations with quantum-resistant solutions to safeguard critical information.
“While quantum computers are several years away from commercial availability, the risk of data theft now for decryption later by malicious actors exists today,” said Manju Naglapur, senior vice president and general manager, Cloud, Applications & Infrastructure at Unisys. “Through our holistic set of services, we empower organizations to hit head-on the challenges of post-quantum cryptography, help them navigate the complexities, and create a program designed to protect their IT estate from cyber threats now and in the future.”
The company’s comprehensive PQC offerings include identifying suitable post-quantum algorithms, prioritizing organizational needs, creating migration roadmaps, and ensuring robust governance frameworks. Looking ahead, Unisys plans to expand its PQC portfolio to include tailored strategy development, infrastructure modernization, and crypto-agility solutions to strengthen cybersecurity postures.
By addressing the imminent quantum threat, Unisys is setting a benchmark in the cybersecurity industry, helping organizations build resilience in the face of evolving risks. This initiative underscores the critical need to act now to protect sensitive data and maintain security in the age of quantum computing.
