Risk Assessment

A risk practitioner is assessing risks associated with recent external advances in quantum computing. Which of the following would be the GREATEST concern for the risk practitioner?

  • A The organization has not reviewed its encryption standards.
  • B The organization has not adopted Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for its operations.
  • C The organization has implemented heuristics on its network firewall.
  • D The organization has incorporated blockchain technology in its operations.
Explanation

Advances in quantum computing can undermine commonly used asymmetric encryption algorithms. An organization that has not reviewed its encryption standards may lack a plan to identify vulnerable cryptography and transition to quantum-resistant alternatives.
