Act now to be resilient in the quantum future

Quantum computing will bring significant opportunities to the UK financial sector, but firms need to act now to prepare for a world where a viable hostile quantum computer could break today’s widely used cryptography standards.The financial sector depends on secure information and communication. Cryptography – of which encryption is just one part – helps firms protect their clients’ data, verify who they are dealing with, and maintain trust in their systems.Sufficiently powerful quantum computers pose a real threat to that security. Without trustworthy cryptography, consumers would face fraud, firms would suffer operational disruption, and the integrity of financial transactions and markets would be put at risk.That’s why we are talking to firms about preparing for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) now. We don’t know for certain when a viable quantum computer will emerge, but the coming years will likely see the technology advance at a rapid pace.Preparing for this new world requires firms to understand where and how they use cryptography and to be able to migrate all hardware and software to PQC, while managing operational risks.Realistically, for most firms, this will require significant time, investment and effort.What firms need to do nowSo, what kind of timescale are we talking about? The National Centre for Cyber Security (NCSC) recommends 3 key milestones:By 2028, firms complete a PQC migration plan.By 2031, firms carry out high-priority migration activities.By 2035, firms have migrated all systems, services and products to PQC.Firms should not wait for these milestones before acting and where it is safe to do so, they should seek to be ready sooner. In line with NCSC guidance, we expect firms to act now to:Have a thorough and accurate understanding of the cryptography in place across systems and information.Set clear, achievable, safe and risk-based migration objectives..Implement migration plans and monitor, test and validate the changes, adjusting them where

Central Bank of Ireland finance strategy

The main objectives of the Central Bank’s current strategy are to make the Bank more resilient, responsive and forward-looking, allowing it to adapt to a challenging external environment and to assume new legislative responsibilities. Part of this strategy is also a commitment to manage core operating costs, which has led to the introduction of a multi-year programme targeting a €75 million reduction in the trajectory of the Bank’s projected expenditure to 2030. The majority of the reduction in projected expenditure will be achieved through non-pay measures, including targeted IT investment, reductions in consultancy and contractor spend, and other efficiency initiatives. However, and as previously communicated with staff, €26 million will be achieved through a reduction in pay costs. This represents an 8% reduction in projected 2030 pay expenditure. Reflecting the investments in our organisational capability and the maturity of the frameworks we have built over the last number of years, the reduction in pay costs will be met through changing the size and shape of the Bank, which is anticipated to lead to a reduction of around 120–140 roles. In order to deliver this in the most efficient and effective way, the Central Bank has announced the launch of a voluntary severance scheme and has commenced engagement with its people and staff representatives. The scheme (which will be in line with standard public service conditions) will support delivery of a lower cost trajectory in a cost-effective manner while maintaining operational effectiveness and delivering an organisation that is more agile in response to a rapidly changing environment. Further details on eligibility, terms, and the application process will be communicated directly with staff in the coming days.
