Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL): A Look at This Current & Future Threat

HNDL retrospective decryption attacks are a major concern for more than half of the professionals surveyed by Deloitte. We’ll explore what these quantum-related future threats are and how you can future-proof your enterprise against them

Bad guys, right now, might be loading up your most sensitive data like it’s clearance day at their favorite warehouse store.

Your data is encrypted? They don’t care. Threat actors are putting your data “on ice,” storing it until quantum computing capabilities come along that can break modern encryption schemes. (And Q-Day might be here sooner than you think!)
