For decades, computing growth has followed Moore’s Law, doubling performance every two years. But that trend is slowing as transistors reach physical limits. Enter quantum computing — a technology that processes data at unimaginable speed using qubits instead of bits. Tech giants like IBM, Google, and Intel are pioneering this transformation, promising breakthroughs across industries from healthcare to finance. Yet, with this power comes risk: the rise of quantum computing could reshape — and threaten — global cybersecurity.

As quantum technology advances, today’s encryption methods face extinction. That’s why researchers are developing quantum-safe encryption, designed to withstand quantum attacks. Companies like Google, Cloudflare, Microsoft, and AWS are already integrating hybrid and lattice-based cryptography to protect future data. The transition will take time — but organizations that act early will gain a critical edge in security resilience.Stay informed on how tech leaders are preparing for the post-quantum era with <a href="https://forbes.us/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Forbes US</a>, the authority on cybersecurity innovation and global digital strategy.
