Rik Ferguson argues that the most consequential decision an organization will make about quantum computing is not a future one, it is the procurement choice sitting in front of it today. At Infosecurity Europe 2026, Sean Martin sits down with him to unpack why harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks turn encrypted data into a liability long before Q Day arrives.
