Preparing for a quantum-safe future
Quantum computing still feels like uncharted territory, yet the threat it poses is significant. On the one hand, it promises advancements in areas such as financial modelling. On the other, it has the potential to undermine the encryption standards that protect governments, businesses, and critical infrastructure around the world.

People often draw parallels with AI, but the comparison is imperfect. AI is transforming how organizations operate. Quantum computing could fundamentally challenge the cryptographic foundations that protect sensitive data and digital communications. While the timeline remains uncertain, organizations need to prepare now. The earlier they start to assess their cryptographic exposure and planning for post-quantum security, the better prepared they will be when the threat materializes.
Quantum is speeding up
Investment in quantum computing is growing, with major economies such as the US already directing significant funding in the technology. The UK has also...
