2024 Cybersecurity threat forecast: Experts chime in

Even if the malicious use of quantum computing is some years away, the time to start preparing for it is now, says Kazuhiro Gomi, president & CEO of NTT Research:

“The need to prepare for this threat is real. With NIST’s expected release of more PQC standards in 2024, industries, governments, and others are expected to begin ramping up their migration planning efforts. This is based on the concern that malicious actors are currently collecting ongoing communication data and could compromise security once scalable quantum computers become available.” 2024, cybersecurity | SC Media UK (scmagazineuk.com)
