Countdown to YQ2 - Quantum Readiness for Enterprise

Explore the impending quantum revolution and its implications for enterprise cybersecurity in this 49-minute conference talk by Mark Carney at Hack in Paris. Delve into the world of quantum technologies as the speaker sets the stage for quantum advantage, expected to arrive on April 14, 2030. Gain insights into the potential business impacts, particularly in cryptography and confidential computing. Learn about the main risks associated with quantum computing, including its effects on current cryptographic methods through Shor's Algorithm and Grover's Search. Discover Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and its variants, as well as the development of Post-Quantum Cryptography. Explore the concept of 'cryptographic agility' and its importance in implementing quantum-resistant ciphers. Uncover the lesser-discussed benefits of quantum advantage in enhancing security through machine learning, graph network algorithms, and optimized search. Leave with a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity risks in the quantum era and strategies to prepare for this technological shift, all presented in an accessible manner for those without a technical background in quantum physics.
