The quantum clock is ticking faster than most realize. While organizations grapple with mounting “cryptographic debt” billions of dollars worth of vulnerable, embedded encryption scattered across their networks threat actors are already harvesting today’s encrypted data to decrypt tomorrow with quantum capabilities. QuSecure’s Dave Krauthamer reveals why the post-quantum transition timeline has collapsed from 2035 to 2030, creating an urgent $500 billion remediation challenge for enterprises. But here’s the silver lining: this seismic shift represents a massive opportunity for channel partners to ride the “big wave” of crypto-agility transformation. With an estimated 60% of post-quantum solution revenue flowing through channel partnerships, those who master the art of cryptographic modernization today will lead the quantum-safe networks of tomorrow. The question isn’t whether quantum threats will materialize it’s whether you’ll be positioned as the trusted advisor helping clients navigate this fundamental reimagining of cybersecurity architecture.
