Austrian Businesses Urged to Adopt Post-Quantum Cryptography Amid Quantum Computing Advances
As quantum computing capabilities grow, Austrian companies face imminent risks of data breaches and compliance failures. Experts recommend transitioning to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to safeguard sensitive information against future quantum threats.

Austrian businesses must prioritize the implementation of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to protect sensitive data as quantum computing advances rapidly. Predictions indicate that by 2033, quantum computers may breach current encryption methods in a matter of days.
Notably, 49% of Austrian companies have yet to adopt quantum-resistant measures. Data protection must be ensured across all stages: at rest, in transit, and in use. The transition to PQC cannot be a one-time project; it requires gradual updates and replacements of cryptographic protocols throughout the infrastructure.
Compliance with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2 further necessitates immediate action to avoid potential liabilities. Migration to PQC is essential to mitigate risks associated with quantum computing and maintain a secure competitive edge.
