Q. HOW CAN TELCOS KEEP THESE INNOVATIONS SAFE? TELL US WHY QUANTUM SAFE NETWORKS ARE BECOMING A HOT TOPIC IN THE INDUSTRY.

» All innovations bring new opportunities and risks and quantum computing is no exception. With its ability to process complex datasets more efficiently and optimise network configurations and robustness, quantum computing promises substantial benefits to world economies and societal operations.

However, it is no secret that it also poses a significant risk to the cryptographic systems that have protected secure communications for decades, potentially allowing threat actors to execute attacks unmatched by today’ s standard computers.
