Practical tools to help your organization prepare for the quantum era.
Quantum technologies are moving from research labs into strategy discussions. LQA develops free tools so that organizations in Luxembourg and beyond can see where they stand, compare themselves with their peers, and decide what to do next.
How ready is your organization for the quantum threat to cybersecurity?
Within the next decade (arount 2033 according to many experts), quantum computers are expected to break the encryption that protects most of today's data, transactions and communications. Sensitive data can already be stolen now and decrypted later ("Harvest Now, Decrypt Later"). Preparing takes years, so it pays to start early.
QRI-STARE is a short online self-assessment. It measures your organization's quantum readiness and gives you a score out of 100, the Quantum Readiness Index. This first edition focuses on quantum cybersecurity.
You respond to 20 statements across the five dimensions of the STARE framework:
| Dimension | The question behind it | Weight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Situation Awareness | Has the organization recognized the quantum threat? | 15% |
| T | Threat Understanding | Do decision makers understand the threat and its implications? | 15% |
| A | Asset Visibility | Do we know where we are exposed? | 20% |
| R | Readiness | Are actions already underway? | 20% |
| E | Execution | Could we realistically start migration? | 30% |
A few optional questions on your outlook and governance help us map the wider landscape. They don't count towards your score.
STARE is built for the people who own cybersecurity and technology decisions: CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and innovation leaders. It suits private companies, public bodies, academic institutions and non-profits of any size.
STARE is the first tool in a growing set. LQA will add further resources to help organizations explore quantum technologies, from risk to opportunity.
