"The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has enlisted quantum-safe encryption pioneer Arqit Quantum to help lead on the UK's looming migration to post-quantum cryptography. The NCSC's PQC Pilot scheme is part of a wider government initiative - the Assured Cyber Security Consultancy (ACSC) Scheme - that is seeking to build national expertise in preparing ordinary organisations to undergo this complex migration, which could begin in earnest as soon as 2028."
""Post-quantum cryptography is one of the few moments in cyber history where we can act before the crisis hits," said Andy Leaver, CEO of Arqit. "Being selected by the NCSC to participate in the PQC Pilot is a strong endorsement of our approach, using the Encryption Intelligence product to support UK organisations as they face the PQC migration challenge. This programme will help enterprises move from uncertainty to action, with clear guidance and practical tools to future-proof their security.""
Arqit Quantum will provide discovery and migration planning services to UK organisations preparing to adopt quantum-safe cryptography, centring its Encryption Intelligence product. The PQC Pilot sits within the Assured Cyber Security Consultancy Scheme to build national expertise for a complex migration that could begin in 2028. Organisations are advised to start planning now, with high-priority upgrades complete by 2031 and full migration by 2035. Classic public-key algorithms will be vulnerable to future quantum computers, threatening confidentiality of communications, data and authentication. Encryption Intelligence aims to map cryptographic assets, identify dependencies, and assess risk to guide remediation and transition.
