Decoding the Quantum Threat: Navigating Post-Quantum Cybersecurity
Manage episode 490345727 series 3604885
Quantum computing is on the horizon, poised to break today's standard encryption and enable "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, threatening sensitive data worldwide. This episode explores the critical technical and financial hurdles organizations face in migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), from pervasive system integration and interoperability issues to estimated multi-billion dollar costs for government agencies. We delve into NIST's pivotal role in standardizing quantum-resistant algorithms and emphasize the urgent need for "crypto agility" to secure our digital future against evolving quantum and AI-driven threats.
