As quantum computing moves from research labs into the enterprise, it introduces a critical threat to current public key encryption through "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks.

In this episode of Interconnected, experts from Equinix and Accenture discuss how to navigate this transition by building a quantum-safe security roadmap and embracing crypto-agility. You’ll learn how to protect critical infrastructure—from power grids to cloud platforms—by modernizing your security posture today.

Watch the full video to discover how to future-proof your digital infrastructure against the quantum reality.

    Very informative, practical guidance for enterprises in planning/preparation when "qubit instability" has been solved for...
    The practice of bad actors harvesting encrypted data now for later is interesting and concerning, to say the least.  

    -Quantum Risk Analysis
    -A networking consideration/impact, as Tom mentioned, when PQC Post Quantum Computing is in play-  "PQC keys and message sizes can be kilobytes, not bytes."
    -High packet overhead, larger MTU to mitigate fragmentation- interesting to see the evolution in networking to enable the higher than usual requirements 

    Good stuff!
