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!

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

🌍 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, 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/kiGtJA #QuantumComputing #PostQuantum #Cryptography #Cybersecurity #DigitalTrust #Accenture #Keyfactor
