Quantum Day is Coming: Will Quantum Computing Break Cybersecurity?

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction—it’s a ticking clock for modern encryption. In this episode of Legitimate Cybersecurity, Frank and Dustin break down Q-Day, the moment when quantum computers may render current cryptography useless. We explore how close we really are, the science (and hype) behind quantum technology, and what CISOs should be doing NOW to prepare. Along the way, expect tangents about Star Trek, Ant-Man, AI, and a few moments that’ll make you laugh out loud. 🎙️ Got a topic or guest suggestion?
