Akkodis & Chunk Works strategic partnership navigates enterprises through the quantum horizon

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, new technologies such as quantum computing are paving our way towards the future. Unlike traditional computing, quantum computing introduces the concept of qubits and enables us to run complex calculations with unparalleled efficiency to solve some of the most challenging problems of our time. Leading technology companies, such as Akkodis, are already pioneering quantum computing services, pushing the boundaries of computing. However, this leap forward is not without its shadows, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity.

A particularly pressing concern is the strategy of "store now, decrypt later" attacks. In anticipation of quantum computing's ability to crack existing cryptographic methods, attackers are accumulating encrypted data now with the intent to decode it later using more advanced quantum technology.

The partnership between Akkodis and Chunk Works is a definitive step towards quantum readiness in cybersecurity. Presley Prescott, VP Cybersecurity at Akkodis, states on the collaboration: "As the quantum era approaches, we're at a pivotal moment in cybersecurity. At Akkodis, we are bringing extensive knowledge in both cybersecurity and quantum computing services to our partnership with Chunk Works. Together, we are not only developing immediate defense mechanisms, but also pioneering a future-proof infrastructure capable of successfully countering quantum threats.”

Anticipating the imminent threat of "store now, decrypt later" attacks in the quantum era, the demand for effective countermeasures is rising. Addressing this issue, Akkodis and Chunk Works have formed a strategic partnership to guide enterprises through these challenges. This collaboration brings together Akkodis' deep expertise in cybersecurity with Chunk Works' innovative crypto-agile quantum-safe software, QuSec™, focusing on developing robust strategies for quantum resilience. By proactively transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms and constantly updating security protocols, this partnership aims to fortify enterprises against both current and future quantum threats, ensuring long-term data protection.

Echoing Prescott's sentiments, Dennis Schouten, co-founder of Chunk Works, comments: "We are thrilled to partner with Akkodis. Their extensive cybersecurity expertise, combined with our cutting-edge QuSec software, creates synergies that will empower organizations to navigate the complexities of the quantum era with confidence.”

In today's rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, the imperative is clear: act now and proactively secure your digital assets. Engaging with Akkodis and Chunk Works could mean exploring a tailored consultation, experiencing a product demo, or discovering specific services that fortify your defenses for tomorrow. Embracing crypto-agility and focusing on quantum-resistant solutions like QuSec sets a benchmark for the industry, ensuring that enterprises are not just prepared for the quantum era but are leading the way in cybersecurity innovation.
