The role of quantum security & its impact on the tech trends shaping the next decade

(QuantumXchange) Advancement in technology within the next ten years will change the game for all industries – from manufacturing, healthcare, mobility, aerospace, and more. Organizations will have to adapt to meet sustainability requirements, data volume, network speeds, and security needs. McKinsey’s recent list of ten predictions has identified the areas that matter the most. But do you have the tools to keep up with the pace?
Advanced technology ultimately results in more data traveling to more devices, across more networks. As several trends take the stage for 2022 and beyond, next-generation data security products will be front of mind to future-proof your systems for the Information Age and the forthcoming Age of Quantum Computing. IQT News summarizes how quantum security solutions will play a role in 7 of the ten technology predictions.

1. Next-level process automation:
In all industries, data volume and usage is growing exponentially year after year, and the days of manual data processing are long gone. With more devices and extensive networks, the more critical it is to ensure your long-duration data is protected with the right solutions, wherever it travels and lands.

2. 5G & IoT Connectivity
The days of quantum computing being just a concept are over. Now, it’s essential to find a partner and implement the right solutions to help ensure your devices and networks are prepared and protected against quantum attacks.

3. Next-Generation Quantum Computing
The days of quantum computing being just a concept are over. Now, it’s essential to find a partner and implement the right solutions to help ensure your devices and networks are prepared and protected against quantum attacks.

4. Distributed Infrastructure
With more data moving in and out of servers into hybrid and cloud environments, several methods can ensure peak security – AI-based monitoring, utilizing a secure access service edge, multi-factor authentication. Any organization deploying a network infrastructure of any kind should ensure it is quantum-safe now or risk its premature obsolescence.

5. Trust Architecture
With more employees working outside of protected corporate networks, organizations have to take a different approach to secure their resources. Quantum-safe out-of-band key distribution systems that embrace the zero-trust security model, such as Phio TX, address the known vulnerabilities of classic encryption and popular security protocols.

6. New Types of Programming
We’re on the brink of the Software 2.0 era, where AI-driven applications will be scaled through “machine written programs.” Building software into the development process (DevSecOps) will soon need to include quantum-safe security measures to ensure the long shelf-life of critical applications.

7. Bio Revolution
The advancement of biotechnology and capabilities will significantly impact health, agriculture, energy, and material industries. his information and library of data need to be accessible for the right groups but still secure from the wrong hands. It will require the strongest form of encryption available — quantum-safe data security.
