Prepping for ‘Q-Day’: Why Quantum Risk Management Should Start Now

April 15, 2026

Quantum computers are coming and may impact systems in unexpected ways, and it will “take years to be fully quantum-safe, if ever,” cryptography expert warns.

World Quantum Day 2026: QuSecure on Urgent Need for PQC Shift

April 14, 2026

As World Quantum Day approaches on April 14, the cybersecurity conversation is rapidly evolving from theoretical risk to operational urgency. Industry leaders are no longer asking if quantum computers will break modern encryption—but when—and how prepared organizations will be when that moment arrives. QuSecure is among the vendors pushing that shift in mindset, urging enterprises…

GUEST ESSAY: Google’s 2029 deadline exposes readiness gap as move to quantum-safe crypto lags

April 14, 2026

For years, quantum risk was easy for most institutions to treat as premature: real in theory, urgent someday, but not yet an operational problem. That is no longer tenable. Related: AI spawns semantic attacks Two developments this month brought the shift into focus. Google Quantum AI published research suggesting the computing resources needed to break…

Google Sets 2029 Deadline as Quantum Computers Threaten Encryption

March 27, 2026

Google fast-tracks post-quantum cryptography with a 2029 deadline as researchers warn quantum computers could break current encryption sooner than expected.

Google races to secure encryption before quantum threats arrive

March 26, 2026

Google is preparing for the quantum era, a turning point in digital security, with a 2029 timeline for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration. Security professionals warn that current encryption could be broken by large-scale quantum computers in the coming years. This risk is already relevant due to store-now-decrypt-later attacks. Google says organizations should adopt NIST-developed PQC…

Google moves post-quantum encryption timeline up to 2029

March 25, 2026

Google is accelerating its timeline for migrating its products to quantum resistant encryption to 2029, the latest sign that tech leaders are worried that they haven’t been aggressive enough in planning for a post-quantum future. In a blog posted Wednesday, vice president of security engineering Heather Adkins and senior staff cryptology engineer Sophie Schmieg said…

Your encrypted data is already being stolen

February 17, 2026

Quantum computing is often treated as a distant, theoretical cybersecurity issue. According to Ronit Ghose, Global Head, Future of Finance of Citi Institute, that mindset is already putting financial institutions at risk. The biggest misconception, he says, is that quantum threats begin on a single future Q-day, when quantum machines suddenly crack encryption. In reality,…
