Some experts believe that quantum computers will have a game-changing impact on cyber security by around 2030. While this might seem like a long time away, organisations need to start preparing for the day when their current cyber security systems, which rely on classical cryptography, are no longer effective.

In this guide, Daniel Flemming, a Principal Solutions Architect at Quorum Cyber, explains why Years to Quantum (Y2Q) is a ‘burning platform’, and highlights advice from the national security agencies of the UK and US. Daniel assesses the nine biggest risks of Y2Q to cyber defenders, along with the advantages it will give them over adversaries. He shares a step-by-step practical guide to help organisations start preparing for the quantum computing age and looks ahead to the future.
