2026, the year of Post-Quantum Cybersecurity Planning
In our last newsletter, we highlighted a critical shift in the quantum cyber threat landscape: governments, industry leaders, and standards bodies are converging on concrete PQC implementation schedules. This edition of QS Lens provides a deep dive into that news to provide clear elements on why 2026 is the definitive turning point year for planning your migration to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
In this article, we outline the positions of key global stakeholders on the timeline for PQC adoption, then explain the fundamentals required to initiate a PQC transformation, before providing CISOs with a practical to-do list for 2026.
The Quantum-Safe Sentinel #4 - January 2026
We said it last month, and we will repeat it all year long: 👉🏽 2026 must be the year of Quantum Cybersecurity Planning. No more delays. Leading CISOs and CIOs who want to be ready on time must start planning their transition now.
The Quantum-Safe Sentinel #3 - December 2025
As we close out 2025, this month brings a mix of progress and persistent challenges: successful tests of PQC in critical payment systems, alarming delay in enterprise adoption, and continued evolution of quantum cryptography technologies.
As always, we conclude with a focused awareness topic. This month, we address The Enterprise Readiness Gap, examining why organizations remain unprepared despite growing awareness.
The Quantum-Safe Sentinel #2
Welcome to the second edition of our Quantum-Safe bulletin. Last month’s inaugural version received exceptional interest, and we want to thank all of you for your feedback and engagement. It reinforced a belief we hold strongly: awareness and continuous learning are essential foundations for achieving cyber resilience.
The Quantum Threat looms over Banking
A Europol-led initiative, the Quantum Safe Financial Forum, has sounded the alarm for Europe’s banks and financial institutions: the time to prepare for quantum risk is now.
The Quantum-Safe Sentinel #1
Welcome to the inaugural issue of QuRISK’s monthly bulletin, launched in celebration of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
This new series is dedicated to shedding light on the rapidly evolving quantum cyber threat landscape and the emerging quantum-safe solutions: from Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and beyond.
Each month, QuRISK will bring you a curated selection of insights, including key awareness points, the latest industry news and regulatory updates, and a spotlight feature on a timely quantum security topic.
