Preparing for Quantum

The quantum revolution will not arrive overnight, but the security implications demand preparation now. Those standardized post-quantum algorithms already exist, and the shift to them is beginning.

The urgency comes from harvest now, decrypt later — adversaries collect encrypted data today, planning to unlock it once quantum computers are powerful enough. Information with long-term value is already at risk.

Major companies have begun the move; Google, Apple, and Signal already use post-quantum encryption in some products. For individuals, the advice is simple: keep your software updated, and quantum-resistant protection will arrive through normal updates.
