Understanding Q Day and the threat of the landscape, right? So what does Q Day mean and why should leaders be preparing now for it?
6:14
would say watch a star trek or marvel or right imagine a computer that is a billion times faster and works very differently than any computer that we've known to man right if you if you google quantum or ibm quantum chandelier.

You're gonna see something that hangs from the ceiling and it doesn't look like a PC in a box.
6:45
It literally looks like a chandelier in a executive, like maybe the White House, right? So it's a different type of computer that operates completely different than what we've been accustomed to.

What quantum, or excuse me, what Q-Day is all about is when you think about the fact that these quantum computers operate so much, with so much more performance than, today's computers, classical computers, that they are going to be able to take the keys to everyone's kingdom, right? So if you have a cell phone, if you drive a car that was within the last 10 years, all of those systems use cryptography right pki public key infrastructure certificates if you have a bank if you earn money if you get paid if you have a scooter like my 12 year old he has a scooter that he rides but he has a little armband and he has to you know plug up to it right it's not quite mfa but certificates are used if you have a camera in your home All of these things use cybersecurity around PKI and crypto, and the ability to break those crypto keys is really, that's really the focus of Q-Day.

When is that gonna happen? Who's heard of
