Cybersecurity in the Age of Quantum Advantage Cybersecurity faces constant challenges in terms of keeping up with the rapid rate of technology adoption. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the rapid advancement on quantum technologies. In the past decade the world has poured trillions of dollars into quantum development, which will have serious ramifications for the encryption standards we use. This presentation, an updated version of the research originally delivered at the Global Forum on Cyber Excellence's Global Conference on Cyber Capacity Building in Accra, Ghana in November, 2023, offers an accessible look at what quantum technologies are and how cyber professionals can prepare for a future that is coming faster than you imagine.
