Palo Alto Networks says as one of there 7 predictions for the next year to prepare yourself.
While practical quantum attacks on widely used encryption methods are not yet feasible, they are likely to become possible within the next decade, prompting organizations to prepare with a short-term quantum-resistant roadmap and adopt quantum-resistant defenses to counteract potential threats. Nation-state-backed threat actors are likely to intensify their "harvest now, decrypt later" tactics, targeting highly classified government data or highly valuable intellectual property with the intent to access it as quantum technology advances. CIOs can address any hype around this topic by highlighting that, although significant progress has been made with quantum annealing, military-grade encryption has not been broken.
