CRISC Information Technology and Security Practice Question
An organization is planning to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Which TWO considerations are MOST important for migration planning?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Assess the cryptographic agility of current systems
Migration must prioritize systems with long-term data sensitivity and assess cryptographic agility to adapt to new standards.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Evaluate the cost of quantum computers
Why it's wrong here
Cost of quantum computers is not a migration consideration; it's about cryptography.
- ✓
Assess the cryptographic agility of current systems
Why this is correct
Systems must be able to support new algorithms.
- ✓
Identify systems that need long-term confidentiality (e.g., classified data)
Why this is correct
Data that must remain confidential for decades is at risk from quantum attacks.
- ✗
Train employees on quantum physics
Why it's wrong here
Specialized training is not a primary migration consideration.
- ✗
Purchase quantum-resistant hardware immediately
Why it's wrong here
Standards are still evolving; immediate purchase is premature.
