That is exactly the case. It is a system-wide message. There is a subtle difference there.

With regard to quantum computing and the risk for cybersecurity, I suppose this is part of counter cyber risk work, working with our European colleagues, to ensure we have the most advanced quantum computing assisting us in protecting the networks. It can also be used as a way of attacking by using the raw brute power of quantum computing to provide faster data processing, which increases the risk of cyberattack. There is a research project to try to counter that threat.
