With Quantum coming, NIST readies new software supply chain protection

While quantum computing is years away from practical deployment, it will pose a major threat to software supply chain security, and now is the time for security teams to prepare for that. A significant step was recently taken in spurring preparedness when the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) introduced its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand attacks from a quantum computer.
