Post-Quantum Panic – The Vault Is Ticking

Post-Quantum Panic: As quantum computing advances, RSA-2048’s security lock is under threat. With qubits multiplying and new machines on the rise, stolen data could be a ticking time bomb. The U.S. has moved from theory to action with post-quantum algorithms, giving defenders a playbook and deadline. Learn how to mitigate the threat, understand the significance of Harvest Now, Decrypt Later, and how to act before quantum risks compromise your da…

Quantum computing is getting closer, but quantum-proof encryption remains elusive

Quantum-safe encryption is needed now, even though large-scale quantum computers are still at least a few years away. According to the Government Accountability Office, large quantum computers that will be able to break today’s encryption standards are 10 to 20 years away. But the threat is there already, since adversaries can vacuum up encrypted data in hopes of reading when quantum decryption arrives, in what’s known as “harvest-now decrypt-la…
