Quantum computing promises advancements in areas like secure communication and drug discovery but also poses significant cybersecurity threats<\/a>. Traditional encryption methods like RSA and ECC are at risk due to algorithms like Shor’s, which could render them ineffective. To mitigate these risks, adopting quantum-resistant algorithms and post-quantum cryptography is crucial.<\/p>\n Sectors such as banking, government, and defence are particularly vulnerable, underscoring the importance of proactive solutions to secure technological infrastructure in a post-quantum era. This article explores the implications of quantum advancements and strategies to build resilience against these transformative innovations.<\/p>\n Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift from classical computing by leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics. Unlike classical computers, which rely on binary bits (0 or 1), quantum computers use qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously through superposition. This unique characteristic enables quantum computers to perform multiple calculations concurrently, dramatically enhancing their processing power and efficiency.<\/p>\nAn introduction to quantum computing<\/h3>\n
