Quantum Computing Security: Why Enterprises Need to Prepare Now

Most security teams assume their encryption will hold. That assumption has an expiry date. A 2025 ISACA poll of more than 2,600 professionals found that 62% expect quantum computers to break current encryption, yet only 5% of their organizations have a defined plan to respond.
