As an IT security professional, you have a number of issues that demand your attention today. The race is underway between companies like Microsoft, Google, IBM and Intel working to build quantum computers. Some quantum computers with the ability to break RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography may be available within 10 to 15 years. The transition to quantum-resistant cryptography is likely to take at least 10 years. The top-level advice is to start preparing for quantum computing today, and carefully monitor the development of both the actual quantum computers and effective post-quantum protocols.”]
