Public consultation on quantum migration rules opens

Industries that transition to quantum computers may put transactions or information at risk.

The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) opened for public consultation the quantum-safe handbook and quantum readiness index (QRI), to be used by logistics, pharmaceuticals, and finance industries as they transition to quantum computing.

Whilst quantum computing is expected to facilitate financial transactions and secure communication, amongst others, compromises or attacks to the system could disrupt business operations and leak confidential information, the CSA said.

The Quantum-Safe Handbook provides guidance for organisations as they prepare for quantum readiness.

The QRI is a questionnaire that system owners and security practitioners can take to gauge their organisation’s state of readiness and prioritise key actions.

A public consultation on the materials will run from 22 October to 31 December.

The handbook was jointly developed by CSA, GovTech, and IMDA, in collaboration with technology companies, cybersecurity consultancies, and professional associations, the agency said.

The consultation was opened at the Singapore International Cyber Week 2025.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
