France to Block Certification of PQC-Free Products Starting 2027
France's ANSSI will stop certifying products without quantum-resistant encryption by 2027, impacting the cybersecurity market significantly.
France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI has announced it will cease certifying security products lacking quantum-resistant encryption by 2027. This decision will restrict access to a significant government technology market for non-compliant vendors.
ANSSI emphasized that this move transcends technical cybersecurity concerns, framing it as an issue of governance and industrial planning. The agency's directive reflects increasing vigilance against potential quantum threats, urging businesses to adopt quantum-safe products by 2030.
