The Real Date of the Quantum Computing Apocalypse and What the White House Says Well Do About It

Published: Feb. 8, 2023, 6:41 a.m.

Will quantum computers be able to crack RSA this decade? Maybe. But figuring out that exact date is not what you and your organization should be worried about. A memorandum issued by the White House reveals when the quantum computing apocalypse will begin as far as information security boots on the ground are concerned. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a deep dive into the NSM-10 memo and its near-term ramifications for the private sector.
