Machines run for many years—which in turn means that systems built today will still be in use in the quantum computer age. This is why the manufacturing industry needs a post-quantum strategy.

Companies that put a networked Industry 4.0 system into operation today should bear in mind that the system may still be running when powerful quantum computers have long been available. Previously secure cryptographic procedures could then be broken. In order not to jeopardize their own data security, the manufacturing industry needs a post-quantum strategy—with an approach that is as pragmatic and modular as possible.
