Why the Finance Sector Must Lead the Shift to Post-Quantum Cryptography
Quantum computing is not some far-off theory anymore, and the threat to today’s encryption is real with the clock running for organizations to be resilient. And for banks and finance organizations sitting on mountains of sensitive data, the urgency to prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is growing. With Q-day (the day a powerful quantum computer……
