We Need to Jump Into Quantum Technology Now | Jake Moore, ESET @ Infosecurity Europe 2026

As official media partners of Infosecurity Europe, the EM360Tech team attended the event on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, to interview IT leadership from across the cybersecurity industry. In this vox pop, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host and Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, interviews Jake Moore, Global Cybersecurity Advisor, ESET. They discussed the exciting themes and emerging technologies taking over the floor at Infosecurity this year, such as quantum computing. “We were always saying ‘we’re 10 years away from quantum computing’, and now I think we’re three to five years away,” Moore tells Dua. When asked about enterprises' reluctance to adopt cryptography, Moore tells Dua that he believes there’s a misunderstanding at the top executive level about most technologies. “They’re seeing cryptography as a hype like the initial AI hype versus threat. There’s a knowledge gap,” he adds. “Looking at quantum, we don’t fully know the technology yet, but we need to jump into it now.” He says that it’s important, especially when it comes to breaking encryption. “If we’re seeing criminals harvest all of that data knowing that now they can decrypt in the future, we’re sitting on a time bomb that’s going to blow up in the next five or 10 years.” Visit ESET here: https://www.eset.com/
