In this unfiltered episode of Unspoken Security, host A. J. Nash explores the looming threat quantum computing poses to our digital infrastructure with experts Robert Clyde, Managing Director of Clyde Consulting and Chair of crypto-security firm CryptoQuanti, and Jamie Norton, a Board Director at ISACA with extensive cybersecurity credentials. They cut through the technical jargon to explain how quantum computing fundamentally differs from classical computing and why its exponential processing power threatens to break current encryption standards."While current quantum computers operate at around 150 qubits, once they reach sufficient power, everything from banking transactions to secure communications could be compromised instantly," warns Robert during the discussion of "Q Day" — the moment when quantum computers become powerful enough to defeat public-key cryptography underpinning internet security.Despite the alarming scenario, the experts offer practical guidance on preparing for this threat. They outline how organizations should begin implementing post-quantum cryptography solutions developed by NIST, emphasizing that proactive preparation, not panic, is the critical response security professionals should adopt today. Listen to the full episode to understand the quantum threat and learn the concrete steps your organization should take now before Q Day arrives.Send us a textSupport the show
