Updated Australian Guidance Helps Businesses Question Vendors on Post-Quantum Cryptography

ACSC · 5 Nov 2026
Key Takeaway Start asking your key software and service providers how they plan to approach post-quantum cryptography, and use the ACSC guidance to shape those questions.

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has published updated guidance on post-quantum cryptography. The guidance is designed to help organisations engage with their vendors, assess how ready they are, and support their planning for the change.

The source summary is brief, so details of the specific recommendations are not covered here. What it does make clear is the focus: practical support for conversations with technology suppliers and for working out where an organisation currently stands. Businesses that want the specifics should read the full guidance on the ACSC website.
