The G7 Cyber Expert Group (CEG), co-chaired by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Bank of England, released a public statement setting out a roadmap to help financial entities, authorities and key suppliers coordinate the move to post-quantum cryptography and other quantum-resilient technology. The roadmap focuses on the cryptographic risks posed by sufficiently advanced quantum computers, which could break widely used encryption protocols that protect financial systems and data. It outlines considerations and potential activities for stakeholders, with an associated timeline described as non-prescriptive to allow organizations to implement measures based on their circumstances.
