Quantum computing security device uses advanced biometric authentication protected by an glowing shield. Advanced quantum computing hardware utilizes glowing biometric fingerprint authentication, enveloped by a protective shield, signifying next-generation digital security and access control technology in a dark environment.

For years, the story around quantum computing and cyber security has been relatively simple: one day, sufficiently capable quantum computers may be able to break much of the public-key cryptography that protects the internet, financial systems, software updates and sensitive communications.

That threat is real. But it is no longer the whole story.

A newer…
