James Ringold

Advances in quantum computer technology will pose a threat to many cryptographic principles that have been widely adopted, from IoT and smart devices to cloud computing. I will present the latest advancements in quantum computing and predictions for when a cryptographic relevant quantum computer will be available to disrupt current cryptographic technologies. I will discuss organizational threats such as, “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks. I will finish the presentation with an overview of what can be done now, and what will be needed in the future, to help organizations begin thinking about the change ahead of the industry.
