Banks Urged to Prepare for Post-Quantum Cryptography Amidst Security Threats

Financial institutions must urgently prepare for post-quantum cryptography due to the standardization of new quantum-resistant algorithms by NIST and the threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' attacks. A significant challenge lies in identifying and managing legacy cryptography hidden within container images and third-party libraries, as current environments often lack the necessary cryptographic visibility. Experts recommend starting the transition by securing containers, which are frequent targets for attackers and also the most accessible place to manage cryptographic sprawl. AI
