Why Encrypted Data Today May Not Stay Secure in a Quantum Future
Published
Garfield Jones, Senior Vice President, Research and Technology Strategy for QuSecure, brings perspective from inside government and enterprise environments. He built and tested systems for intelligence and defense agencies and served for over two decades in the U.S. Army.
The discussion follows Google’s 2029 quantum readiness timeline, which places a clear marker on how soon organizations need to prepare for encryption risks.
This conversation focuses on quantum risk for data that is encrypted today, but also collected with the expectation that it can be decrypted later. Most organizations assume encryption is holding. Yet, many don’t have a full inventory of where it is used or what is outdated.
The problem is not awareness. It is delays. Government signals are shifting to enforcement, and expectations around quantum readiness are surmounting.
What is done today is not enough, with execution, ownership, and visibility missing. Jones brings a ground-level view of where organizations stand and what they are overlooking.
