Root Causes 665: What is Quantum Security Posture Management (QSPM)?

So, Jason, we're defining a term today.

We are.

And it's, I think, an important term.

And the timing is right for this.

Quantum Security Posture Management, QSPM, Tim.

QSPM, Quantum Security Posture Management.

So we know what CSPM is, right? Cloud Security Posture Management.

So this sounds like it's like that, but we're focusing on our quantum technology.

cryptography in particular.

Am I getting that right?

Yeah, you've got it, Tim.

I think it reaches the same audience, the same kinds of people who procure solutions for cloud security and have to understand, have to do a lot of things and bundle a lot of technologies in order to be able to secure the cloud and all that that means.

I think even though QSPM is a bit of a mouthful.

I think that the reason it makes sense is because it literally is the same analogy except bundling together the things you need to do to be prepared for PQC.

And I think that's an important point you just made, Jason.

This isn't like run a script and you're done kind of category.

This is – there are a series of related capabilities and procedures and actions that together manage your quantum security posture.

Is that right?

I think so, Tim.

I think it is coming together of at least three things, and I think we should discuss those today.

Okay.

Well, great, great.

What are they? Okay.
