“Quantum computers have already initiated a paradigm shift in the ways researchers think about data security ”
SARVAGYA UPADHYAY SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST MANAGER , FUJITSU
According to Upadhyay , quantum algorithms capable of solving the computational problems that underpin encryption schemes are already in development . Organisations and governments are now striving to keep pace . The US , for instance , enacted the ‘ Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act ’ just last year , signalling a proactive approach to this looming challenge .
“ When we talk of securing sensitive data today there is strong focus on , and argument for , encryption ,” comments Gavin Millard , Deputy CTO at Tenable . “ As advances in quantum computing are made , decryption at lightning speed is increasingly possible . For organisations , this both helps and hinders security practices as it introduces a number of risks , including retrospectively .
