Securing Data In The Quantum Era

Quantum computers are becoming increasingly accessible and are expected to reach a market size of around $5.3 billion by 2030. With the potential to perform faster calculations, work on multiple computations simultaneously, and utilize interconnected quantum bits (entangled qubits), the rise of accessible quantum computing will be advantageous across industries. However, with new technological milestones come new threats the industry must learn to combat. Governments, researchers, and tech leaders around the globe have warned that quantum computers will eventually be able to break the asymmetric encryption used today, putting critical communication and data protected with existing hardware and software at risk.
