Quantum computing: the inevitable threat to information security
Briefly

Quantum computing harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations at speeds unimaginable with classical computers, marking a profound shift in computational power.
Current encryption methods protect sensitive information by relying on the difficulty of solving certain mathematical problems, but quantum computers can solve these problems exponentially faster.
The potential for 'Harvest Now, Decrypt Later' attacks poses a significant risk, as malicious actors could store encrypted data now to decrypt it when quantum capabilities become available.
It is imperative to prepare for quantum computing's impact, as failure to transition to quantum-safe algorithms could jeopardize critical systems in industries like healthcare and finance.
