The Quantum Countdown: Preparing Your Organization for a Post-Quantum World
The Quantum Countdown: Preparing Your Organization for a Post-Quantum World Quantum computing is no longer a distant theoretical concept; it is on the horizon, bringing a seismic shift in how organizations must approach cybersecurity risk. The advent of future quantum machines introduces the threat of quantum decryption, which could fundamentally undermine the trust, confidentiality, and resilience of digital business. While the technology offers transformative potential for fields like drug discovery and financial modeling, it also poses a “harvest now, decrypt later” (or Store Now, Decrypt Later - SNDL) threat. This means adversaries may be capturing encrypted sensitive data today with the intent to break its protections once powerful quantum computers become available. ...
