Microsoft Accelerates Post-Quantum Cryptography Shift to 2029
Microsoft is accelerating its transition to post-quantum cryptography, moving the target date to 2029 due to faster-than-expected advances in quantum computing. The company's chief technology officer cited shifting risk horizons as the reason for the expedited timeline, indicating that quantum threats are now considered more imminent.
Why it matters: Security practitioners need to begin planning quantum-safe migrations for critical systems and encryption infrastructure, as a major cloud provider's accelerated timeline signals the industry is shortening the window for transitioning from vulnerable cryptographic algorithms.
