The Quantum Threat is Already Here
February 2026 marks a critical inflection point where hardware acceleration and algorithmic breakthroughs have compressed the timeline for breaking classical encryption. While hardware vendors race toward 100,000-qubit systems within 3–5 years, nation-state adversaries like Salt Typhoon are already harvesting encrypted data at an unprecedented scale. Every encrypted communication exfiltrated today becomes a long-term liability for those who defer their migration planning.
Navigating the Global Compliance Calendar
The transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography is a massive organizational challenge that must begin with cryptographic discovery. With 60% of organizations globally still not preparing to transition, the ratio of PQC migration timelines to arrival estimates has become the most critical metric for enterprise risk management .

Bridging the Quantum Readiness Gap
Most large enterprise PQC migrations are estimated to take 12–15+ years; if your organization has not yet begun cryptographic discovery, you are already accumulating unrecoverable risk.
