Thales’ Quantum-Safe Security infographic explains how quantum computing will soon render traditional encryption obsolete and highlights the urgent need for crypto agility. Seventy-three percent of organizations recognize quantum threats, yet only 39% have defined a mitigation strategy. The infographic on page 1 shows major milestones like Shor’s algorithm (1994) and Google’s 2019 “quantum supremacy,” with global investment exceeding $24 billion. Thales recommends three steps for protection: adopting Quantum Resistant Algorithms for agility, using Quantum Key Distribution for security, and employing Quantum Random Number Generators for entropy, ensuring long-term data confidentiality and integrity in the post-quantum era.
