Tech Talk:
Cybersecurity in the Quantum Era
Cybersecurity’s perimeter is shifting. Quantum computing is no longer speculative; it is steadily reshaping how we protect data, secure identities and sustain trust in an AI- and cloud-driven economy. From banking authentication to government services and critical national infrastructure, the encryption we rely on today will not be sufficient against the quantum-enabled attacks of tomorrow.
