Quantum Risk Imbalance: Understanding Asymmetric Incentives

Quantum computing is scaling, and it will change what is possible in discovery. It will also break today’s encryption. In this episode of Disruptors, John Stackhouse goes inside Xanadu’s Toronto lab with Christian Weedbrook to meet Aurora, a networked quantum computer built to push scale in the right direction. Stephanie Simmons (Photonic Inc.) then lays out the opportunity and the urgency: ▪️What quantum could unlock in materials and chemistry ▪️Why “harvest now, decrypt later” is a real risk ▪️How leaders start the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transition with inventories, vendor pressure, and a plan. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here - http://spr.ly/6046hog5C #QuantumComputing #Cybersecurity #PostQuantumCryptography #Encryption #DigitalTrust #Canada #Toronto

Modernization can’t wait. And honestly? Neither can cryptography. ⚠️ For years, cryptography was treated like fixed infrastructure set it up once, hope it holds, move on. But the reality is brutal: cryptography is a living system. It needs visibility, governance, and constant renewal to stay trustworthy. Now add quantum computing to the equation. Game changer. The pressure to evolve is real and it’s happening fast. ⚛️ That’s exactly why IBM Consulting and Keyfactor joined forces: to help organizations modernize cryptography with confidence, control, and measurable outcomes not guesswork. There are six hard truths every leader needs to face when it comes to enterprise cryptography. Ignoring them isn’t an option anymore.

I talk about why Quantum risk forces a rethink of cryptography at scale, and why waiting for a “right time” to act is a mistake.   This is a short preview of a deeper discussion I had with Andrew D. and Nicole C. at Accenture Security on what quantum really means for security teams.   👉 Watch Part 1 for the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/eQNy9BbD

Today at EPFL’s Engineering Industry Day, our Quantum Demystified: Cyberrisks and Industry Responses roundtable turned into a fascinating debate. 🗣️ We explored one of the most pressing questions in cybersecurity: when will quantum computing outpace today’s encryption? 🤔 The consensus? The 2030s might bring quantum capabilities strong enough to break current cryptographic systems. 😱 That means now is the right moment for companies to start preparing — migrating to quantum‑resistant cryptography won’t happen overnight, and "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks are already a real concern. 🚀 Many thanks David Viollier for inviting me and to Karine Villegas & Julian Jang-Jaccard and the visitors of the roundtable for the discussion. #PostquantumSecurity #QuantumComputing #EPFL #Swisscom

🌍 The UN declared 2025 the “Year of Quantum.” As quantum computing advances, the implications for cryptography and long-term data security are becoming impossible to ignore. In Part 1 of Keyfactor CSO Chris Hickman's conversation with Accenture Security, we unpack why this moment matters, what quantum risk really looks like today, and why organizations can’t afford to wait. This short clip is just a preview of a deeper discussion on: 🔐 How quantum changes cryptographic assumptions ⏳ Why timelines matter more than breakthroughs ⚠️ What “harvest now, decrypt later” means in practice Watch Part 1 to understand what’s changing and what proactive steps security leaders should be taking now: https://okt.to/TFkMvB Thank you to Andrew Driscoll, Tom Patterson, Scott Francis, Carl Dukatz, Shreyas Ramesh, and Nicole C. for helping to drive this conversation! #QuantumComputing #PostQuantum #Cryptography #Cybersecurity #DigitalTrust #Accenture #Keyfactor #AccentureSecurity

What have I learned at Keyfactor RKO? Quantum computers will eventually be capable of breaking the public-key encryption (RSA and ECC) that currently secures global financial transactions, intellectual property, and sensitive data. The Bottom Line: Quantum readiness is not just a security upgrade; it is an insurance policy for the digital economy. Executives who act now protect their organization’s legacy and ensure its survival in the post-quantum era. To my partners, we need to proactively deliver this conversation to our client base. I look forward to working with you to drive awareness and urgency!

🎥🔐 Quantum Computing Is a Business Reality, Not a Future Theory Quantum computers are not just faster machines. They change how critical problems are solved. ⚛️ Shor’s Algorithm shows that the encryption protecting data, payments, and digital identity will not remain secure forever. 🔍 Grover’s Algorithm accelerates search and brute force attacks, reducing the safety margin of passwords and access controls. 📉 The message for businesses is simple: Quantum computing does not impact everything, but it directly affects trust, security, and long term resilience. 🚀 Preparing for a post quantum world is a strategic move, not a technical upgrade. 🧠 The transition has already begun.
