Banks to build quantum and AI security plans
Banks must create sector-wide quantum transition and AI resilience frameworks by 2027 to prevent data breaches.
In brief
Banks must create sector-wide quantum transition and AI resilience frameworks by 2027 to prevent data breaches. The Indian government requires banks to develop quantum-safe security and AI resilience strategies by 2027 to protect critical financial data from future quantum decryption threats.

Government directs banks
The government has directed banks to develop a sector-wide quantum transition and AI resilience framework for critical information infrastructure.
“Banks are internally discussing the matter, and a working group under the State Bank of India chairman is looking into it”
Quantum threats to banking data
Cyber adversaries may stockpile encrypted banking data under 'harvest now, decrypt later' campaigns for future quantum decryption.
“harvest now, decrypt later”
Banks to prepare for quantum security
Banks must assess post-quantum vulnerabilities and initiate mitigation measures by 2027 for critical information infrastructure.
“by 2027, for critical information infrastructure, relevant ministries and regulators are to establish and maintain their cryptographic asset repositories”
Quantum readiness timeline
Banks must begin preparing for post-quantum cryptography migration immediately as most institutions remain in early stages of quantum preparedness.
“most banking institutions remain in the early stages of quantum preparedness”
The one thing
The Indian government requires banks to develop quantum-safe security and AI resilience strategies by 2027 to protect critical financial data from future quantum decryption threats.
