Quantum computing is no longer science fiction—and its impact on cybersecurity is coming fast. Experts warn that within the next decade, quantum computers could break the encryption standards that protect our data today. For B2B companies in New Jersey, the time to prepare is now.
The Quantum Threat
Quantum computers use qubits to perform calculations millions of times faster than traditional machines. That means current encryption methods—like RSA and ECC—could eventually be cracked, exposing sensitive financial and client data.
Why This Matters to Businesses
Even if quantum computers aren’t widely available yet, hackers can harvest data now and decrypt later. This “harvest-now, decrypt-later” strategy means the encrypted information you store today could be exposed in a few years.
Steps Toward Quantum-Safe Security
- Assess Cryptographic Inventory – Know what encryption you’re using and where.
- Adopt Crypto-Agility – Design systems that can easily update encryption standards.
- Plan for Migration – Start testing post-quantum algorithms now.
- Partner with Experts – Work with security providers who understand quantum readiness.
