Quantum computing poses legitimate concerns in cybersecurity circles, but its immediate impact is likely to be revolutionary scientific innovation instead of security breaches.
Quantum computers powerful enough to threaten encryption are still rare, expensive, and experimental. Current encryption methods are evolving to stay ahead of quantum threats.
The initial breakthroughs of quantum computing are expected in sectors like healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, where current computational limits are bottlenecks.
Organizations are proactively responding to quantum threats by implementing post-quantum cryptographic standards and developing quantum-resistant algorithms.
