‘Post quantum threats and our strategy for mitigating them’

Quantum computing is on the horizon. Many companies, universities and other entities around the world are making strides in this field sooner than originally theorized. Cybersecurity experts rightfully raised the alert that a quantum computer could easily defeat the defences used to secure our data today. The question then is, how can today’s businesses make their security infrastructures more resistant and safe in the “post-quantum” world? At QuintessenceLabs, we see quantum resistance as a three-pillar approach, with parts of those pillars available to be put in use today as enterprises lay the foundations for our quantum future.
