Post-Quantum Cybersecurity: Are We Too Early or Too Late?
Quantum computing threatens to unravel the encryption that secures our digital world. As powerful quantum systems emerge, today's cybersecurity measures could become obsolete, leaving sensitive data and critical infrastructure exposed. Yet, this looming challenge also sparks innovation in quantum-resistant technologies. The critical question is: are we acting swiftly enough, or are we premature in our efforts? Should we invest now in post-quantum cybersecurity, or is the threat still too distant to warrant immediate action? How can organizations balance the urgency of preparation with practical considerations?
