Quantum Arms Race Looms as Palo Alto Warns of 2029 Threat
The cybersecurity world is accelerating toward one of the most consequential shifts in technological history — the point where quantum computers begin to meaningfully threaten classical encryption systems. With the latest remarks from Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora, the conversation surrounding post-quantum cybersecurity has moved from theoretical speculation to a prediction with a defined timeline. Arora suggests that hostile nation-states may possess operational quantum computers capable of breaking modern encryption as early as 2029, or perhaps even sooner. Although such predictions must always be viewed with caution — especially when issued by cybersecurity vendors with strong commercial incentives — … Read more
