Quantum computing (QC) represents the biggest threat to data security in the medium term since it can make attacks against cryptography much more efficient. With QC capabilities having advanced from the realm of academic exploration to tangible commercial opportunities, now is the time to take steps to secure everything from power grids and IoT infrastructures to the burgeoning cloud-based information-sharing platforms that we are all increasingly dependent upon.
