We have released the latest instalment in our quantum technology primer series, focusing on quantum sensing. Quantum sensing uses quantum phenomena to enable highly sensitive observations of the physical world, supporting more precise measurements of time, pressure, gravity and magnetic fields. These capabilities may enhance applications across navigation, resource exploration and critical infrastructure.

As this technology advances, organisations should be aware of cyber security risks such as sensor integrity, data authenticity, supply chain exposure and software vulnerabilities. These considerations align with established cyber security practices used in other operational technology deployments.
