For decades, cybersecurity experts have talked wistfully about the arrival of near mythical quantum computers whose mind-bending physics would enable the brute-force cracking of complex encryption algorithms in minutes rather than millennia. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, this day – called Q-Day – will arrive on or around Jan. 1, 2031. In this episode, Marin Ivezic, Partner, Cybersecurity & Privacy at KPMG Middle East, joins host David Braue to discuss the countdown to Q-Day, alongside insights shared by former White House CIO, Theresa Payton.
