New CISA-DHS Guidance: Prepare for Quantum Risks…or Focus on Today’s Threats?

As quantum computing evolves, so do our conversations around security. Yet, John Terrill, CISO at Phosphorus, urges OT operators to focus on what matters today: building defenses against the real threats they face.

“Quantum risks are real, but until we have PQC algorithms in use and devices that support them, we need to secure systems against existing vulnerabilities,” John shares. Let’s ensure we’re not distracted by the ‘next big thing’ if it means leaving known risks unaddressed.
