Every day we inch closer to a new computing reality, the arrival of commercially stable quantum computing, we hear about this new disruptive technology, that when unleashed will break the worlds strongest encryption in nanoseconds, that is a very scary proposition for any info-sec professional.

There is work being done today to make quantum resistant encryption or so we hope. It is already difficult enough to secure and keep up with the systems that make up our modern world. Systems that are overly complex and running trillions and trillions of lines of code just using 1’s and 0’s, systems we already fail to protect every day, in part due to the complexity of them.

If you think current technology is complex and at times confusing, you haven’t seen anything yet, quantum introduces a whole new level of complexity and way of thinking about what is happening, and why.

What does this mean for us in the information security industry, will future system admins need PHD’s in quantum physics and discreet mathematics? Will we all need to get our CQISSP? Can we secure quantum? How will our world change? What new things we will be able to do? How will quantum be abused and misused by criminals and nation states.
So may questions so little answers, tune in for a fun discussion on the impact of quantum computing and what the grey hairs have to say about it.
