Companies Rush to Post‑Quantum Encryption

Google has moved up its internal migration target for NIST‑approved post‑quantum cryptography to 2029 and is publicly urging private-sector peers to accelerate their own transitions. That deadline reflects new estimates for quantum hardware and factoring resources and signals a practical industry timetable for replacing common public‑key systems before quantum threats materialize. — If major cloud and platform firms adopt PQC early, it will force an industry‑wide retooling (software, hardware, compliance) and reshape conversations about digital security, regulation, and national preparedness.
