With Q-Day - the moment quantum computers can break current encryption - expected within five years, businesses are under growing pressure to prepare.

He explains that some organisations have begun moving to hybrid deployments that combine post-quantum cryptography with standard RSA, a vital first step in building experience for a full migration. As Howie notes, becoming quantum-secure is no longer a distant goal but an urgent item on every CIO and CTO’s to-do list.
