The harvest now, decrypt later threat means sensitive data intercepted today could be decrypted once quantum computers arrive. Enterprises must begin their post-quantum migration now, focusing on crypto-agility rather than single algorithm adoption. Quantum computing is often discussed as a future threat to encryption. For enterprises, however, the more important question is not when a
Post-Quantum Security: Why Enterprises Must Act Before Quantum Computers Arrive Read More »
For years, quantum computing has been discussed as a technology that will fundamentally change cybersecurity someday. I believe that mindset is now outdated. The quantum threat is not something organizations should wait to address when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer becomes operational. The preparation has to happen years before that moment. Why? Because sensitive information
The Quantum Clock Is Ticking: Why Enterprises Must Start Preparing Now Read More »
For most of the last four decades, the security of digital communication has rested on a simple mathematical bet: that certain problems are too hard for any classical computer to crack in a useful timeframe. RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic-curve cryptography, the algorithms that secure everything from banking transactions to classified government communications, all depend on
For years, quantum computing has been discussed as a future cybersecurity challenge. That framing is no longer sufficient. On June 22, 2026, the White House issued Executive Order 14412, “Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks,” establishing a clear federal direction for the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The order recognizes two realities: large-scale quantum
Quantum computers are the computers of tomorrow. Using the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have tremendous compute power which allows these devices to perform complex calculations at unimaginable speeds. Consider that these computers may be able to break current encryption protocols not in trillions of years but in seconds. According to QuintessenceLabs, a conventional
