Data Resilience:
Safeguarding Critical Data for a Quantum-Ready Era
AI-generated image for illustrative purposes.
Data resilience is the ability to keep critical data trusted, available and usable across its lifecycle, even as business conditions, technologies and security risks evolve.
Organizations today operate in an increasingly connected and data-driven world. Across industries, data supports business operations, guides decision-making and enables essential services that people rely on every day.
As organizations generate, share and rely on growing volumes of data, they are placing greater focus on ensuring critical information remains trusted, accessible and capable of supporting long-term business objectives. This growing dependence on data is making data resilience essential for sustaining performance, continuity and growth.
Why Critical Data Matters
Powering Essential Operations
Supports critical services and day-to-day operations.
Driving Better Decisions
Turns information into actionable
insights.
Enabling Growth and Innovation
Creates opportunities for improvement and growth.
Critical Data Across Essential Industries
Critical data powers the operations, services and decisions that organizations rely on every day. Across industries such as energy and utilities, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, government, financial services and telecommunications, data helps keep essential services running efficiently and reliably.
From infrastructure data and operational information to financial records, medical data and public service information, these critical data assets play a vital role in supporting business continuity, performance and service delivery.
As critical data moves across increasingly connected environments, organizations must not only use it effectively but also protect it throughout its lifecycle.
How Data Supports Essential Industries
Energy & Utilities
Data supports reliable energy delivery and resilient infrastructure operations.
Manufacturing
Data drives production efficiency, quality management and operational performance.
Transportation
Data enables efficient movement of people, goods and services.
Telecommunications
Data powers network connectivity and digital communications.
Government & Public Services
Data supports public services, policy decisions and essential community operations.
Healthcare
Data informs patient care and supports critical healthcare services.
Tomorrow’s Quantum Threat Starts Today
Data resilience involves addressing a range of operational, technological and security risks. Among these, the potential impact of quantum computing presents an emerging challenge for information that must remain confidential over long periods.
As organizations become increasingly dependent on critical data, protecting the long-term confidentiality, integrity and availability of that data is becoming an important element of data resilience. One emerging challenge is the impact that future quantum computing may have on today’s encryption technologies.
Today’s digital infrastructure relies on encryption methods that were designed for conventional computing systems. Sensitive information transmitted today could be captured and stored by cyber attackers, then decrypted in the future when sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.
Today
Encryption at risk
Long-term confidentiality
01
Data in transit today
Critical data is transmitted across networks every day.
02
Encrypted & captured
Encrypted data can be intercepted and stored.
03
Harvest now, decrypt later
Stored data may be decrypted in the future.
04
Quantum computers could break today's encryption
Future quantum computers may challenge current encryption methods.
05
Quantum-secure communications needed today
Organizations should prepare for long-term quantum resilience.
Quantum readiness is no longer a future discussion.
It is becoming a critical component of long-term cyber resilience.
Capabilities that build data resilience
Addressing data resilience requires more than security alone. Organizations need capabilities that help them manage data, generate insights, optimize operations and protect critical information against evolving threats.
Security
Secure Data for the Quantum Era
Strengthen cybersecurity resilience with technologies designed to protect communications and critical information against emerging quantum threats, while supporting a long-term transition toward quantum-safe security.
Data
Connect, Capture and Govern Data
Create trusted data foundations through IoT connectivity, real-time data collection and scalable platforms that connect operational and business environments.
Intelligence
Transform Data into Actionable Intelligence
Leverage AI, analytics and digital twin technologies to uncover insights, predict outcomes and support informed decision-making.
Optimization
Solving Complex Business Challenges
Address large-scale optimization challenges by rapidly evaluating millions of possible outcomes to identify optimal decisions.
Building Quantum-Safe Communications
Among these capabilities, quantum-secure communication is particularly relevant to organizations that need to protect sensitive information over extended periods.
Organizations depend on secure and trusted communications to support critical operations, exchange sensitive information and maintain business continuity.
As digital infrastructure becomes increasingly interconnected and data remains valuable for longer periods, organizations are evaluating how to strengthen resilience against emerging security risks.
