Quantum-safe implementations within existing and future Internet of Things infrastructure are discussed, along with quantum vulnerabilities in public key infrastructure and symmetric cryptographic algorithms. Other relevant non-encryption-specific areas within cybersecurity are similarly raised. The evolution and expansion of cyberwarfare as well as new developments in cyber defense beyond post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution are subsequently explored, with an emphasis on public and private sector awareness and vigilance in maintaining strong security posture. %K Quantum Computing %K Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) %K Quantum Hacking %K Cybersecurity %K Internet of Things (IoT) %K ShorĄ¯s Algorithm %K Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) %K Pseudorandom Number Generators (RNGs) %K Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) %K Symmetric Key Cryp-tography %K Asymmetric Key Cryptography %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=126059
