NIST selects HQC as backup algorithm for post-quantum encryption

Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can keep data secure from a cyberattack by a future quantum computer. Now, NIST has selected a backup algorithm that can provide a second line of defense for the task of general encryption, which safeguards internet traffic and stored data alike. Encryption protects sensitive electronic information, including internet traffic and medical and financial records, as well as corporate and national security secrets. But a sufficiently … More → The post NIST selects HQC as backup algorithm for post-quantum encryption appeared first on Help Net Security.

The demand for 24/7 vigilance, sophisticated attacks, and a shortage of skilled professionals have led to a burnout epidemic in the industry. For CISOs, this isn’t just a personal issue, it’s a business risk. A burned-out team is less effective, more prone to errors, and more likely to leave, creating knowledge gaps that further strain … More → The post Burnout in cybersecurity: How CISOs can protect their teams (and themselves) appeared first on Help Net Security.
