Trust security across heterogenous IT (Information Technologies) and OT (Operational Technologies)
environments, while also lowering the technical risk, streamlining cyber security operations, and reducing
response times.

In addition to deploying Zero Trust security-based systems as soon as possible, organizations should
also consider developing a Quantum Security (QS) strategy and incorporating it into their ZT strategy. A
QS strategy, for example, could include the adoption and deployment of Post-Quantum Cryptography
(PQC), Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG), and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems.

Given the continuously evolving cyber threat landscape, including potential data security threats posed
by code-breaking quantum computers, the time to incorporate zero trust and quantum security into one’s
cyber strategy is now.
