QUANTUM COMPUTING
Quantum technology set to impact cybersecurity In addition to its advantages , future quantum computers are likely to pose threats to our existing digital signatures and encryption techniques . “ This means that we will soon need to start the process of upgrading how we secure valuable information across enterprise IT systems . Leaders in all industries need to prepare for a quantum future – one where not only scientific boundaries are pushed , but cyber threats increase too .”
On the other hand , the sensitivity of QML algorithms may also help secure enterprises against cyber threats . “ By helping monitor the incoming streams of events and activities , combined with other advanced monitoring techniques , quantum computers could improve our ability to detect and react to cyber threats as they occur .”
“ While quantum solutions for enterprises are still gaining traction , the need to start developing talent , teams , and people who understand the basics of the technology is going to be extremely important ”
