Addressing Quantum Readiness in Healthcare Security

Healthcare organizations should adopt post-quantum cryptography measures while maintaining balanced priorities, according to the chief information security officer of New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Providers can manage quantum-related risks by strengthening encryption standards, ensuring commercial software vendors support new cryptographic methods, and securing medical devices.

Why it matters: Healthcare practitioners need to inventory and plan upgrades for encryption-dependent systems now, as cryptographically relevant quantum computers could eventually render current protections obsolete and expose patient data.
