Best of LinkedIn: ICT & Tech Insights CW 39/ 40
Quantum computing is shifting from a contest over qubit counts to a question of industrial manufacturing, independent verification and measurable scientific utility, while post quantum cryptography has moved from a future concern to a current planning problem. In cybersecurity, exploitation that reaches attackers before patches exist is changing the premise of defense, so recovery and governance now carry as much weight as prevention. Across wider ICT infrastructure, decisions on virtualization, edge computing and connectivity are being rebalanced around resilience, local control and regulation.
