Finextra explores quantum computing threat to cryptographic foundations of financial systems
Sibos 2026 conference focused on the 'quantum tipping point'—when quantum computers will break current encryption standards. Financial services are beginning to assess migration timelines and post-quantum crypto readiness.
WHY IT MATTERS
BFSI must begin crypto-agility planning now; delayed migration to post-quantum algorithms puts transaction confidentiality and settlement integrity at systemic risk. Regulators will soon mandate timelines.
