How IT Leaders Can Start the Shift to Quantum-Safe Security
Computer Weekly, Wednesday, July 29th, 2026
Post-quantum migration is now an operational priority, with major providers targeting 2029 for full post-quantum security.
Google and Cloudflare have both set 2029 as a target for full post-quantum security across their infrastructure, driven by rapid advances in quantum research and a shrinking margin for delay.
The article argues that what was once treated as a future problem is now an immediate operational priority for IT leaders, with major tech companies and national security agencies setting concrete migration timelines.
Post-quantum migration sits inside asset management, supplier governance, and sound operational planning rather than standing apart as a cryptography project. Organisations that start early, set priorities clearly, and coordinate across their supply chain will have more options and face less disruption.
