Not in 10 years, today. Nation state adversaries are harvesting data now, to decrypt it later with a quantum computer.
Unless action is taken:
- Government secrets will be exposed
- Power networks will be disrupted
- Trust in the digital economy will collapse
The US is leading the global response. The Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act requires US Federal Agencies to upgrade to post-quantum encryption and to report their progress to Congress. In the coming months, the foundations for a quantum-safe future will be laid.
