Quantum computers could be used to compromise traditional encryption methods that protect data in countless digital systems today, thereby posing a direct threat to global cybersecurity infrastructure.
The threats include the intrusion and decryption of sensitive information in the diplomatic, military , and financial fields, as well as the ability to decrypt private conversations in real time – something quantum computing systems can do much faster than classical computers, making private exchanges no longer secure and easily monitored and exploited.
Sergey Lozhkin, Head of the Center for Research on Asia- Pacific , the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa, stated: "The quantum computing market in the Asia-Pacific region is currently on a strong growth trajectory. Experts predict that from $392.1 million last year, this market will reach $1.78 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2%. This is both exciting and concerning. Organizations here should remember that quantum computing is the next frontline in cybersecurity."
Although quantum computers are not yet a direct threat, it will be too late to act once they are capable of attacking. The transition to post-quantum encryption is a long-term process, requiring many years to complete. Therefore, starting to prepare today is a critical requirement.
The cybersecurity community, technology companies, and governments need to work closely together to address the upcoming risks. Policymakers need to develop clear strategies for migrating to post-quantum algorithms, while businesses and researchers need to start deploying new security standards now.
