Kyndryl’s New Service: Safeguarding Against Quantum Risks

Kyndryl is at the forefront of helping businesses tackle quantum computing challenges with its new Quantum Safe Assessment service. This offering aims to identify cryptographic vulnerabilities and build robust post-quantum security strategies, essential for protecting organizations as technology evolves.

The service thoroughly evaluates an organization’s digital environment, paving the way for the adoption of quantum-safe measures using post-quantum cryptography. Such preparation ensures data protection while complying with regulatory requirements. The assessment covers key systems, from payment processors and customer databases to cloud and legacy infrastructures, prioritizing them based on the criticality of their data and the projected threats of quantum advancements.

Following this evaluation, Kyndryl teams up with companies to develop and implement a comprehensive quantum-safe strategy, making the transition to quantum readiness more attainable for businesses, regardless of where they are in their quantum journey. This proactive approach acknowledges the challenges posed by quantum technology as a present concern, not just a future one.

“Ensuring security against quantum computing isn’t a distant concern; it’s a pressing need,” says Kris Lovejoy, Kyndryl’s global leader for security and resiliency.
