Quantum's Bigger Threat: Forged Identities, Not Data Theft
Quantum computing poses a threat beyond data theft: the ability to forge digital signatures, which could undermine trust in information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems. Applied Quantum's leadership argues that signature forgery represents a more fundamental risk than historical data compromise, as it attacks the authenticity of communications and transactions rather than their confidentiality.
Why it matters: Organizations managing both IT and OT infrastructure should evaluate post-quantum cryptography readiness now, as signature forgery attacks could compromise system integrity and authentication mechanisms before quantum threats to encryption become practical.
