Why now
- Google's updated timeline signals quantum threats are closer than previously thought.
- Store-now-decrypt-later attacks make immediate PQC adoption critical.
- Rapid advances in quantum computing hardware and algorithms necessitate urgent action.
Why it matters
- Quantum computers threaten to break current encryption, risking data security worldwide.
- Accelerating PQC migration reduces vulnerability to future quantum-enabled attacks.
- Organizations must adopt PQC standards soon to protect sensitive communications and transactions.
