Quantum Computing Security

For security professionals who protect quantum computers or assess the threat they pose to cryptography. Earn CQTP and QCSP, then study the cryptanalytic threat in depth.

QCSP is the credential for this role. It validates that you can secure quantum computing infrastructure: classical control systems, firmware, cloud interfaces, HPC integration and supply chains. QCSP has no prerequisite, and we list CQTP first so you know the systems you will protect.

In The Quantum Threat: Technical Deep Dive, you study the threat to cryptography. You work through error correction thresholds, resource estimates for breaking RSA and ECC, and a method for assessing timelines. We recommend a working knowledge of post-quantum cryptography first, which you can get in Post-Quantum Foundation.
