Quantum, cryptography and Q Day: are we ready?

Soon, quantum computers will be able to decrypt "production grade" encryption, putting both privacy and security at risk. But how close is "Q Day", and is a cryptographically relevant quantum computer a realistic prospect? Is it something malicious actors will be able to obtain, and if so, how would they use it and what threat does that pose to confidentiality of our files, as well as our communications? Our guest today is Moona Ederveen, an author, speaker and consultant who has been studying the impact of quantum computing on security. Here, she discusses the scale of the threat, the steps organisations need to take to mitigate it, and why cybersecurity teams need to act with urgency. Listeners can also access the Post-Quantum Preparedness Framework mentions in the episode here.
