Safeguarding critical data in the quantum eraSafeguarding critical data in the quantum eraIn today’s world of ever-increasing cyber security threats, network and data security continue to be a top concern among network operators. And now, advances in quantum computing are introducing new data security paradigms in preparation for “Q Day” – when quantum computers become powerful enough to break today’s encryption algorithms.
How can network operators elevate their defenses to secure the transmission of sensitive data in the quantum era? In this session, we answer this question and dive into understanding the threat of quantum computing, the meaning of quantum resistance and the importance of AES-256 encryption, Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to enable quantum secure communications. We will also discuss the need to act now and the solutions that are available today to safeguard critical data and mitigate the quantum computing threat.
