"Post-quantum Cybersecurity Threats Loom Large"

According to new research from Zapata Computing, the quantum computing market is maturing with widespread, worldwide interest and increased urgency in addressing post-quantum cybersecurity threats. Seventy-one percent of quantum-adopting companies surveyed have quantum computing budgets of over $1 million, demonstrating that the increased interest in quantum is translating into spending. However, 65 percent of respondents are extremely or very concerned about post-quantum cryptography, and 63 percent are actively working with a vendor to prepare. Both the severity of the threat posed by quantum computers and the lack of clearly reliable solutions are causing concerns. After security concerns, the complexity of integrating quantum computing with traditional Information Technology (IT) stacks was the second-greatest barrier to quantum adoption. This challenge was also reflected in the top selection criteria for quantum providers, with 51 percent choosing user-friendly solutions and 50 percent prioritizing easy integration with existing IT. This article continues to discuss the key findings from Zapata Computing's new report regarding the adoption of quantum computing and post-quantum cybersecurity threats.
