Preparing for the Quantum Era: Post-Quantum Cryptography Webinar for Security Leaders
Most organizations assume encrypted data is safe.But many attackers are already preparing for a future where today’s encryption can be broken. Instead of trying to decrypt information now, they are collecting encrypted data and storing it so it can be decrypted later using quantum computers.This tactic”, known as “harvest now, decrypt later””, means sensitive data…
