The Quantum Countdown: Why Your Business Must Act Now
Quantum computers will break current public-key encryption within a decade, but criminals are already stealing encrypted data to decrypt later. Businesses must upgrade to post-quantum cryptography now. The technical standards exist, but implementation takes years. Companies starting preparation today will be ready; those waiting face catastrophic vulnerability. The risk of acting too late far outweighs…

The Cybersecurity Skills Shortage That Isn’t There
The cybersecurity skills shortage is largely a myth, created by unrealistic hiring practices and a lack of investment in training. Companies overlook capable, non-traditional talent by demanding overly broad qualifications and refusing to develop junior staff. The solution lies in workforce development—focusing on foundational skills, clear job descriptions, and structured mentorship, not talent hoarding.
