Is your organisation ready for the quantum revolution? This episode delves into the looming threat of quantum computing to current cybersecurity, explaining how powerful quantum computers could break widely used encryption like RSA and ECC, potentially by the early to mid-2030s. Understand the "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks that could expose your sensitive data in the future.

This episode highlights the critical risks to UK businesses, especially in finance and the public sector, including the potential collapse of secure transactions, compromised citizen data, and threats to critical infrastructure. Learn about the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidance and their 2035 deadline for migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography.

Discover the essential steps business leaders need to take now to prepare for a post-quantum world, including raising executive awareness, assessing cryptographic usage, adopting crypto-agility, and planning for the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards recommended by NIST and the NCSC. For financial institutions, the episode also touches upon PCI-DSS compliance implications. Don't wait until it's too late – future-proof your organisation by understanding and acting on the quantum threat today..
