Post-Quantum Cryptography: Moving From Awareness To Execution
Security Boulevard, Sunday, April 5th, 2026
Google recently released important research that moves Q-Day - the day quantum computers will be able to 'break the Internet' - up to 2029. How should enterprises secure their systems?
On March 25, Google released a blog post titled 'Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear.' Here's how it begins:
'Google's introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration. 'Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. This new timeline reflects migration needs for the PQC era in light of progress on quantum computing hardware development, quantum error correction and quantum factoring resource estimates.'
