Quranium’s Quantum Readiness Survey to Assess Global Preparedness for Quantum Computing: Call For Participation
Dubai, 27 September 2024: Quranium’s fear is that while the majority of companies understand the cybersecurity risks quantum computing will bring, few are taking action to educate and take the necessary action to prepare for what is coming.
To fully understand how prepared organizations are for this seismic shift and to identify the gaps, Quranium is inviting senior IT professionals to take part in its Quantum Readiness Survey.
The goal of this survey is to assess the level of awareness and preparedness among enterprises in industries such as logistics, banking, healthcare, financial services, and automotive.
Quantum computing is far from an esoteric research project. Having moved beyond the lab, its potential to disrupt the digital economy and revolutionize industries is becoming ever clearer, with real-world applications. There is opportunity for growth in the associated concerns, too. As noted by Dr. Michele Mosca from the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo:
“Quantum computing will upend the security infrastructure of the digital economy. Cryptographic algorithms that have been secure for decades may be breached by quantum computers. This challenge gives us the impetus to build stronger, more resilient foundations for the digital economy.”
Organizations handling sensitive data, such as government, healthcare, finance, and military services, must understand the long-term risks quantum poses to their operations. Systems with long lifespans, including IoT networks, satellite communications, and transportation infrastructure, are especially vulnerable. The potential impact of quantum computing attacks on these systems, from power grids to payment terminals, could be catastrophic. This is where the “store now, decrypt later” threat becomes critical, as attackers may steal encrypted data now, with the aim of decrypting it in the future once quantum capabilities are mature enough.
According to recent KPMG data, 60% of Canadian organizations and 78% of U.S. organizations expect quantum computers to become mainstream by 2030. We have the data on quantum’s proliferation to come, and so many businesses are understandably concerned about the potential for quantum computing to break current encryption methods.
Cybersecurity is more than IT. It’s about facing the “known unknowns” head-on, and so we are pulling back the curtain on enterprise preparedness so as to move industries and the data that from a place of impending vulnerability and into one of long-term stability.
As Sujith Surendranathan, Director of Database Security and Data Protection at Sun Life, explains:
“Adopting new technologies like generative AI involves balancing enablement with inherent risks. It’s important for all organizations to recognize that exposure to quantum threats exists independently of their adoption of quantum computing.”
Why Participate in the Quantum Readiness Survey?
The Quantum Readiness Survey aims to gather insights from tech leaders across industries to assess their quantum awareness, readiness, and strategic plans. The insights gathered will help organizations benchmark their preparedness and guide them in mitigating the potential risks that quantum computing brings.
Participants will benefit in several ways:
- Industry Insights: The survey will provide valuable sector-specific data, offering a clearer understanding of how different industries are approaching quantum readiness.
- Chance to Win $500 in USDT: As a token of our appreciation, all survey participants will automatically be entered into a draw for a chance to win $500 in USDT.
- Early Access to the Findings: Once the survey is completed, participants will receive early access to the comprehensive report, which includes key findings, sector-specific insights, and a comparative analysis of quantum readiness across industries.
- Invitation to a Webinar: Participants will be invited to a dedicated webinar, where we will dive deep into the survey results and discuss strategies to enhance organizational quantum readiness.
How to Participate
The survey is quick, straightforward, and anonymous. To participate and enter for a chance to win $500 in USDT, simply follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Quranium.
What’s Next?
After the survey, we will compile the results into a detailed report and share it with all participants. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to join a webinar hosted by Quranium, where experts will discuss the findings and provide actionable insights on how your organization can better prepare for the quantum future.
As quantum technology continues to evolve, there’s little time to lose. Understanding the risks and planning accordingly will be critical for maintaining security and trust in the digital economy.
