Jaya Baloo, KPN’s CISO, said recently that quantum computing offers organizations a potentially exponential scalability when it comes to speed and computing power. This “quantum speed-up” poses serious risks to traditional cryptography, in that a current problem that would take “the lifetime of the universe” to solve could end up taking just a few seconds.
With commercial quantum computers potentially emerging in the next 10-20 years, information security professionals must act now. She said, “You need to ask yourself which threat model do you have and how long do you have to keep it safe? I need us all as an information security community to get our hands dirty now.”
That is what attendees to my GLDNAcademy‘s Quantum Computing programs are expected to do. What else would you expect going to the Quantum Computing Playground?
