As enterprises rush to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) for faster detection and response to cyber threats, another, quieter race is underway, one that could render today’s security systems obsolete.

The rise of quantum computing, capable of breaking existing encryption standards, could trigger a cybersecurity reckoning. And ironically, AI might help accelerate it.

“Think of it as two exponential technologies colliding,” Saugat Sindhu, Global Head of Advisory Services in Cybersecurity & Risk Services at Wipro, told Moneycontrol . “The intersection of Generative AI (Gen AI) and quantum computing will be tenfold more dangerous because of the processing power quantum brings.”

And the biggest area that will be exploited is encryption.
