New powerful, fast computers referred to as ‘Quantum’ computers, are predicted to come online in the next few years. They will enable us to solve problems, create new inventions and improve the way that we do things but also pose a significant security threat. To defuse the security threat, organisations are already implementing services to mitigate the potential risk, and DETI is helping to investigate secure technologies and practices to protect digital communications - which will stop potential hackers of the future.
