Up until now, it could be argued that businesses have been keeping the quantum internet at arm's length.

The quantum internet is expected, one day, to be a network similar to the present-day internet, but it will connect quantum devices linked via a fiber optic network, not radio waves.

Why is this so vital? Security.

It's time now for corporate visionaries to be involved in building out the future of a quantum-secure world, via Forbes.

Critical infrastructure companies including IT companies such as cloud service providers, the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and others will be required to report cyber incidents within 72 hours to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), according to the fiscal year 2022 government funding bill Congress.

The Senate voted 68-31 Thursday night to pass a $1.5 trillion omnibus bill that will fund federal government agencies for the remainder of fiscal year 2022, following in the footsteps of the House, which passed the measure the previous evening. The bill now goes to President Biden’s desk.

The $1.5 trillion spending package allocates $2.59 billion for CISA to address cyberthreats facing U.S. critical infrastructure sectors, granting the agency $300 million more than the Biden administration’s budget proposal.

The spending boost and new requirement come as U.S. critical infrastructure sectors prepare for more cyberattacks.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is updating its guidance and services to help agencies meet the goals of the White House’s zero trust strategy.

John Simms, Trusted Internet Connections senior technical advisor at CISA, said the agency will release an updated Zero Trust Maturity Model this year.

The model is organized around five pillars in “Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications and Workloads, and Data,” as well as three cross-cutting themes “Visibility and Analytics, Automation and Orchestration, and Governance.”

“We’re going to come out with a revision this year to really dig into some more details with regard to how zero trust aligns with our CISA programs and services,” Simms said during an event hosted by ATARC last week.

The agency is updating its Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program to better reflect agencies’ use of cloud and zero trust security principles.
