Quantum Minute. Organizations Warned To Prepare For Quantum Hackers. Sponsored by Applied Quantum.

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is warning organizations to prepare for the threat of quantum hackers by 2035. Quantum computers have the potential to break current encryption methods, which rely on mathematical problems that current computers struggle to solve. The NCSC is recommending that large organizations, including energy and transport providers, introduce "post-quantum cryptography" to prevent quantum technology from being used to break into their systems. The agency has set a deadline of 2028 for organizations to identify services that need an upgrade, with the most important overhauls to be completed by 2031 and the migration to a new encryption system by 2035.
