Tag #Quantum-Safe Cryptography

What is the primary cybersecurity threat posed by the advancement of quantum computing, and what specific actions are organizations taking to mitigate this risk?

Sixty percent of large Canadian corporations fear quantum computing will enable cybercriminals to decrypt data; this concern is driving the development of quantum-safe cryptography, which uses algorithms too complex even for quantum computers to crack. Harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks, where data is stolen for later decryption using future quantum capabilities, pose a significant threat.
