Quantum Is Coming: What It Means for Cybersecurity Today

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction—it’s on the horizon, and it could redefine cybersecurity as we know it.

In this episode of And Security For All, host Kim Hakim sits down with Jonathan Kimmitt to break down quantum computing in simple, practical terms. From understanding what quantum actually is to why security professionals are paying attention, this conversation cuts through the noise and focuses on what matters most today.

You’ll learn:

• What quantum computing is (without the complex math)
• Why it’s faster—and why that matters
• The real risks to encryption and data security
• What organizations should be doing now to prepare
• Whether quantum is hype, risk, or opportunity

While large-scale quantum threats may still be years away, the implications for data protection, encryption, and long-term risk are very real.
