If predictions are correct and quantum computers exist outside the lab in around five years’ time, IT and cybersecurity professionals must act now to secure their systems and data against imminent quantum threats.

This whitepaper explores what the technology is, alongside its benefits and threats. It analyses the need for quantum-safe cybersecurity measures; discusses solutions available today that can protect against quantum threats, alongside those that will be available in the near future. It explains the need for organisations to embrace crypto-agility within their encryption solutions, so that they remain secure both today and in the post-quantum era.
