GoKawiilOT asset owners are being asked by regulators to attest to their post-quantum cryptographic readiness without the appropriate tooling, resulting in paperwork dressed up to look like genuine security.
Empty Attestations: OT Lacks the Tools for Cryptographic Readiness
Why This Matters
This article highlights a critical gap in operational technology (OT) security, where asset owners are pressured to provide attestations of post-quantum cryptographic readiness despite lacking the necessary tools. This disconnect poses risks to the integrity of industrial systems and underscores the urgent need for better cryptographic tools in the industry.
Key Takeaways
- OT asset owners lack proper tools for post-quantum cryptography.
- Regulatory attestations may not reflect actual security readiness.
- Industry needs to develop and adopt effective cryptographic tooling for future-proof security.
