Protiviti host and quantum lead, Konstantinos Karagiannis, and our guests explore quantum computing and its business impacts, benefits, and threats. Are you post-quantum ready? Click Here What is Quantum Computing? Quantum computing are machines that take advantage of the ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Due to how the particles behave, operations can be done much more quickly and using less energy than classical computers. So, what does this mean for your business? Organisations should view quantum computing as a competitive advantage. New quantum-inspired algorithms will bring innovative solutions and approaches to product development. In addition, quantum computing can reduce time to market and optimise customer delivery. On the flip side, quantum computing poses a significant risk to organizations. Researchers have shown how quantum computing could kill—or at least significantly weaken—current cryptography systems. A quantum computer will instantly render today’s security systems obsolete and break the encryption of sensitive data protected by such security systems. This puts your organization’s data, intellectual property (IP, patents, customer information, and data) at risk. Any information shared on public channels now or in the future will become vulnerable. For industries such as financial services and healthcare with significant regulatory requirements for data privacy and security, quantum will have a significant business, legal, and ethical impact. Example areas of risk include: Protecting government and military communications Securing financial and banking transactions Assuring the confidentiality of medical data and healthcare records Safeguarding the storage of personal data in the cloud Restricting access to confidential corporate networks Prepare today for Quantum Computing Post-Quantum encryption—new capabilities and algorithms that are resistant to attacks by both classical and quantum computers—to keep information assets secure even after a large-scale quantum computer is available, is underway. Leading organisations such as the Chicago Quantum Exchange are advancing research and education in the science and engineering of quantum information. While quantum may still be several years away, organisations need to take steps to prepare today. Our quantum computing services are helping organisations with Post-Quantum Risk Assessments, Readiness workshops, and planning quantum road maps. Key steps you should take today: Select a quantum champion Conduct a post-quantum readiness workshop Identify quantum computing use cases, value to your organisation, and potential risks Chart a quantum course and multi-year road map. Start your journey and re-assess the road map every 6-12 months. Update the plan based on new quantum computing discoveries and developments, as well as changes in your business and industry.
