Preparing for a quantum-resistant tomorrow

A threat looming over the confidentiality of financial data is quantum computing. At some point – maybe not so far away – quantum computers may be able to break the encryption algorithms used in today’s financial system. Can Quantum resistance be achieved in time? And if yes, what are the challenges in preparing a safe transition to post-quantum cryptography?
