Quantum-Safe Strategies: Why C-Suite Must Care Now, Not Later
Digital CxO, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025
Every time I talk to executives about quantum computing, I hear the same response: 'Isn't that still ten years away?' Maybe. Maybe not. But here's the problem: Your data doesn't care about a calendar.
Right now, adversaries are stealing encrypted data and putting it on ice. They don't need to crack it today. They'll wait until tomorrow, when quantum computing matures enough to break encryption methods we've trusted for decades. This 'harvest now, decrypt later' model means the attack has already happened - you just won't feel the pain until years down the line.
That's why quantum-safe planning is not a future exercise. It's a leadership imperative in 2025.
