Looking Ahead: How Veeam is Preparing for the Quantum Future
Veeam Blog, April 24,2026
Veeam outlines its strategy for post-quantum cryptography readiness aligned with NIST standards and enterprise security requirements.
Veeam's CISO Gil Vega explains how the company is preparing for the quantum computing threat to current encryption by aligning with NIST's newly published post-quantum cryptography standards (FIPS 203, 204, 205) and working with upstream providers like OpenSSL.
The company emphasizes a measured approach focused on crypto agility, enterprise-grade support, and realistic timelines for adoption between 2027-2030, while maintaining security today through FIPS 140-3 certification.
Veeam recommends that customers inventory cryptographic dependencies, design for crypto agility, assess "harvest-now, decrypt-later" risks, and pilot PQC implementations in controlled environments. The strategy balances addressing future quantum threats with current operational resilience and validated cryptography.
