For years we’ve thought about cybersecurity primarily as a technology challenge. Quantum computing suggests it may be something broader than that.

Aside from AI, Quantum computing is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about emerging technologies today. In simple terms, quantum computers are being designed to solve certain types of mathematical problems dramatically faster than even today’s fastest computers. This matters (a lot) because much of our digital world relies on mathematics to stay secure.

Every online bank account, payment system, government portal, digital identity platform and cryptocurrency wallet relies on cryptography for encryption and digital signatures – the mathematical techniques that scramble…
