The Quantum Clock is Ticking—And Your Data May Already Be Compromised

While experts debate when “Q-Day” will arrive—the moment quantum computers can crack today’s encryption—cybersecurity leaders warn we’re already living in the danger zone. Adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today, banking on future quantum capabilities to decrypt it later, making sensitive information with long lifespans particularly vulnerable. Rebecca Krauthamer, CEO of QuSecure, puts it bluntly: “People talk about Q-Day like it’s a future event, but from a risk management perspective, we’re already there. With governments worldwide racing to implement post-quantum cryptography standards and quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption “in hours” what would take classical computers longer than “the heat death of the universe” the question isn’t whether your data is at risk—it’s whether you’re prepared to defend it before it’s too late.
