PQC algorithms refer to the cryptographic techniques designed to be secure against attacks by quantum computers. With the advancement of quantum computers, traditional cryptography algorithms such as RSA, DSA, and ECC, are vulnerable to quantum attacks with computers that can easily solve the mathematical problems these systems are based on.

Other than enabling organizations to gain visibility into and manage their cryptographic security posture, IBM Quantum Safe will also provide for policy enforcement around these algorithms.

“IBM Guardium Quantum Safe allows organizations to enforce policies based on external, internal, and government regulations by pulling crypto algorithms used in code, vulnerabilities detected in code, and network usages into a single dashboard for security analysts to monitor policy violations and track progress,” Saeedi added.
