Description:
As quantum computing rapidly advances, the foundational encryption algorithms that protect everything from financial transactions to government communications are at risk of becoming obsolete. This webinar explores the looming threat posed by quantum computers’ ability to break widely used cryptographic methods such as RSA and ECC, potentially rendering today’s secure data vulnerable to future decryption. We’ll discuss why organizations can no longer afford to take a “wait and see” approach, the current timeline for quantum breakthroughs, and the urgent need to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to ensure long-term data security. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the quantum threat landscape, what makes PQC different, and how to start preparing their systems now to avoid being caught off guard by the coming shift.
