PQtunnel by nodeQ Protects Against Quantum Threats

By Greg Tavarez, TMCnet Editor | May 09, 2024

The rise of powerful quantum computers puts current online security at risk. These machines can crack common encryption methods used to protect sensitive data, like those keeping financial information safe.

Even if data is intercepted today, it could be vulnerable later when quantum computers become more advanced. This weakness threatens countless online systems and could cost trillions of dollars if exploited.

From banks and governments to hospitals and universities, almost any organization relying on encrypted data is in danger. To stay safe, businesses need to switch to more secure methods, like "Post-Quantum (News - Alert) Cryptography." In the U.S., the transition to PQC is set to start in 2024 because of President Joe Biden's 2022 Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act and the end of NIST standardization.

To assist businesses of all sizes with transitioning their end-to-end, or E2E, secure communication to PQC ...
