Quantum computing presents both cybersecurity threats and opportunities. It can break current encryption methods like RSA, posing risks to sensitive data. State-sponsored cyberattacks are rising, targeting businesses and governments globally. Quantum algorithms, such as Shor’s, threaten public-key cryptography, with RSA-2048 potentially vulnerable by 2026. To counter this, organizations must adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution (QKD). Quantinuum's Quantum Origin offers verifiable quantum randomness for superior cryptographic keys, enhancing security against evolving quantum threats. Proactive adoption of quantum-resistant measures is crucial to safeguard data in the quantum era.
