Quantum Computing: Planning for the Future of Cybersecurity

Quantum computing is no longer a distant concept; it's rapidly becoming a reality. This video explores the potential impact of quantum systems on cybersecurity and how organizations can prepare for these changes. We'll delve into the myths and misunderstandings surrounding quantum computing and provide a clear understanding of the risks and potential solutions. Did you know that quantum computers don't work like traditional computers? They enable new types of calculations, and one such discovery, Shor's algorithm, could impact certain encryption methods. We'll discuss the risks to network security and how organizations can prioritize their response. The 'harvest now, decrypt later' strategy is a real threat, but there are solutions like post-quantum cryptography that can be implemented as software upgrades. We'll introduce the LATICE framework, a guide to help organizations locate, assess, and triage their encryption vulnerabilities. While there's no need to panic, complacency is not an option. Organizations should start planning now to ensure a smooth transition. Join us as we navigate the quantum age and learn how to secure our digital future.
