The UK's cybersecurity agency is urging organisations to protect their systems from quantum hackers by 2035.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued guidance recommending the use of 'post-quantum cryptography' to prevent quantum technology from being used to breach systems.
Quantum computers have the potential to solve the hard mathematical problems that underpin current encryption methods, posing a threat to digital encryption.
The NCSC recommends large entities, critical national infrastructure operators, and companies with bespoke IT systems to implement post-quantum cryptography by 2035.
