During a media interview discussing Q-Day, the growing need for cybersecurity, and IonQ's announced acquisition today of Zero Trust security firm @ElisityInc, IonQ CEO @NiccoloDeMasi made this provocative statement:
“You want your safe-makers to understand how the safe-breakers operate. You want your code-makers to understand how the code-breakers think. That's the unique position IonQ is in. We're building the quantum computers that will challenge today's encryption, and we're building the technologies to protect against those threats. By bringing quantum key distribution, post-quantum cryptography and now Zero Trust together, we're giving enterprises and governments defense in depth. We understand both sides of the equation, and that's why we believe we're uniquely positioned to help secure the quantum era.”
