Quantum risks to cybersecurity
Quantum risks to cybersecurity
Quantum-era cybersecurity will wield the power to detect and deflect quantum-era cyberattacks before they cause any harm. Nevertheless, it could become a double-edged sword, as quantum computing may also create new exposures, such as the ability to quickly solve the difficult math problems that are the basis of some forms of encryption. While quantum-safe cryptography standards are still being finalised, businesses and other organisations can already start preparing for a change.
