Setting the Stage: Why Does PQC Matter

Hybrid cipher suites combining classical algorithms with post-quantum algorithms provide security against both classical and quantum adversaries. Organizations delivering and securing applications via a CDN, SaaS, or application delivery controller (ADC) platform that maintain up-to-date ciphers and standards will be well positioned for Q-Day. Other organizations will need to quickly determine their exposure and align their readiness approach.

The adoption of PQC is not a simple binary decision, but rather a gradual transition based on technology, performance, interoperability, and requirements for each industry and their associated use cases.

Converged platforms promise to securely deliver apps, APIs, and AI workloads in any environment, with robust PQC support and powerful XOps capabilities that reduce operational toil with AI, automation, analytics, and programmability.
