Quantum Security in 2025: Preparing for Post-Quantum Attacks
Maya Simpson

As quantum computing progresses toward practical use, security systems must evolve to protect against post-quantum threats. This article outlines how organizations can implement quantum-resistant protocols by 2025.
1. Core Quantum Security Threats
- Shor's algorithm breaking RSA and ECC
- Hash-based signatures required for integrity
- Lattice-based cryptographic systems
2. Post-Quantum Cryptographic Solutions
NIST's 2025 guidelines recommend implementing lattice-based encryption such as:
{
"algorithm": "CRYSTALS-Kyber-1024",
"usage": "key_exchange",
"bit_security": "256"
}
Zero-Trust Quantum Integration
By 2025, enterprises must adopt:
- Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
- AI-Driven Security Monitoring
- Post-Quantum Cryptographic APIs
"The transition to quantum resilience is no longer optional for critical systems. Security leaders must act immediately." - Maya Simpson
Enterprise Implementation Roadmap
