Analysis<\/span> Startup QuSecure will this week introduce a service aimed at addressing how to safeguard cybersecurity once quantum computing renders current public key encryption technologies vulnerable.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear when quantum computers will easily crack classical crypto \u2013 estimates range from three to five years to never \u2013 but conventional wisdom is that now’s the time to start preparing to ensure data remains encrypted.<\/p>\n

A growing list of established vendors like IBM and Google and smaller startups \u2013 Quantum Xchange and Quantinuum, among others \u2013 have worked on this for several years. QuSecure, which is launching this week after three years in stealth mode, will offer a fully managed service approach with QuProtect, which is designed to not only secure data now against conventional threats but also against future attacks from nation-states and bad actors leveraging quantum systems.<\/p>\n
