How Quantum Computing Could Defeat Today's Encryption and What We Should Do to Protect Ourselves

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, quantum computing stands out as one of the most revolutionary advancements of the 21st century. While it promises to solve complex problems in fields like medicine, materials science, and artificial intelligence, it also poses a significant threat to the cryptographic systems that underpin modern cybersecurity. In this blog post, we’ll explore how quantum computing could defeat today’s encryption methods and what steps we should take today to safeguard our digital future.

Privacy: Can Customer Service Robots Compromise Data Security?

In today’s increasingly digital milieu, businesses need to experiment with technologies that can boost their success. Owners will want to look at software to foster collaboration on their teams, apps to facilitate smoother customer communication, and virtual systems to help them navigate their financial operations. However, they’ll also need to be aware of the heightened risk of data breaches adopting these technologies can carry because they involve storing information digitally. As noted in a previous post, cybersecurity breaches are now hitting record highs in the UK’s defence industry, with one government agency handling over 600 cyberattack incidents in 2019. It’s a best practice, then, that when businesses embrace emerging tech solutions, they account for the possibility of data leaks.
