Breaking RSA encryption just got 20x easier for quantum computers | CSO Online

New research from Google Quantum AI shows that a one-million-qubit quantum computer could crack RSA-2048 encryption by 2030, significantly faster than previous estimates. This finding underscores the urgency for enterprises to accelerate the adoption of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect sensitive data. Security leaders should prioritize cryptographic audits, transition planning, and vendor engagement to ensure a smooth transition to quantum-resistant algorithms.
