Finance in the Quantum Age : Risks and Opportunities
About the Event
Quantum computing is advancing from theory to practical applications, opening the door to innovative opportunities while also raising concerns about, for instance, its potential to break public-key cryptography, a cornerstone of today's financial systems. Even before encryption methods fail, sensitive data could be stolen and kept for later decryption, a threat known as "harvest now, decrypt later."
While experts are aware of these challenges and are suggesting solutions, key questions remain: Are we moving quickly and decisively enough? Are we overlooking risks? Are we doing enough to harness Europe's strengths in this field and to reduce dependency on IT security providers from outside the region?
