Prepare for the future of cybersecurity--where quantum computing and AGI collide to reshape the rules of digital defense.
Quantum computing and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) are poised to revolutionize the digital world--but they also introduce unprecedented security risks. These advancements have the potential to break modern encryption, manipulate digital identities, and bypass traditional cybersecurity defenses, leaving financial systems, government records, and private data dangerously exposed.
In Post-Quantum Security for AI, industry expert Petar Radanliev provides a comprehensive guide to safeguarding digital infrastructure against quantum and AI-driven cyber threats. This essential resource explores the vulnerabilities posed by quantum computing, the evolving risks of AGI, and the next-generation cryptographic solutions designed to counteract them. Readers will gain insight into quantum-resistant encryption, decentralized digital identity management, blockchain security strategies, and real-world implementation frameworks for enterprises and governments.
With a unique dual focus on AGI and quantum threats--areas often treated separately--this book delivers practical, forward-looking security strategies backed by case studies and expert analysis. Whether you're a cybersecurity professional, IT leader, policymaker, cryptographer, or developer, this book equips you with the critical knowledge and tools to navigate the future of digital security. The security landscape is changing fast-are you ready for it?
The security landscape is evolving--equip yourself now, before the future arrives unencrypted.
