Singapore Launches Quantum-Safe Migration Initiative for Critical Infrastructure

• •CSA mandates quantum-safe migration for CII by 2031 and others by 2035.
• •Quantum-Safe Kickstarter Grant launched to support pilot projects.
• •Organizations must assess risks and engage vendors for quantum-safe solutions.

The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) has issued guidance for organizations to migrate to quantum-safe systems, with Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) required to complete the transition by 2031 and other organizations by 2035. This initiative is in response to potential cybersecurity risks posed by advancements in quantum computing that could compromise existing cryptographic methods. To facilitate this migration, CSA has introduced the Quantum-Safe Kickstarter Grant, which will provide funding for organizations to pilot quantum-safe solutions. The grant is open from November 1, 2026, to October 31, 2027, prioritizing CII owners. Organizations are advised to assess their risk exposure and engage with technology vendors to understand available quantum-safe solutions. The CSA emphasizes the complexity of this migration process, as cryptography is deeply integrated into various systems and applications. By preparing early, organizations can manage the transition effectively and minimize disruption to operations.
