As quantum computing risks become imminent, professionals in cybersecurity are urged to navigate emerging threats including potential cracked algorithms, and adopt cryptographic agility. The concept allows for a seamless switch to new protocols or mechanisms when algorithms become insecure. Despite the existence of new cryptographic algorithms since 2016, US lacks robust legislation to mandate their use. Cryptographic agility can offer businesses a distinct competitive advantage and contribute to the bottom line, hence adopting cryptographic agility legislation is advised.
