How AI can help defend against future quantum attacks

In his latest article for Forbes Technology Council, our CEO and Founder, Ali El Kaafarani explores how AI is reshaping cybersecurity and cryptography ahead of the quantum era.

While AI accelerates cyber threats by exposing vulnerabilities more rapidly than ever, it also offers defenders an unprecedented advantage: the ability to stress-test algorithms and secure post-quantum cryptography (PQC) implementations.

Maintaining digital trust in a post-quantum world requires an agile combination of standardized algorithms, continuous AI-driven validation, and expert deployment.

Key takeaways:

  • AI raises the bar for security: AI models discover vulnerabilities at unprecedented speeds, making traditional security assumptions obsolete.
  • Defenders can use AI too: Cryptographers can use AI-driven cryptanalysis to automate vulnerability scans, test keys en masse, and stress-test encryption before attackers do.
  • AI and the PQC upgrade: As organizations migrate to Post-Quantum Cryptography, continuous AI validation helps verify that new algorithms are implemented securely at scale.
  • Agility protects digital trust: Long-term defense requires a combination of standardized PQC algorithms, expert deployment, and continuous AI-powered validation.
