Google Cloud Targets 2027 for First Major Post-Quantum Security Milestone

Google Cloud has established 2027 as its target to address store-now-decrypt-later risks, a threat where adversaries collect encrypted data today to decrypt once quantum computers become capable. The company's broader post-quantum cryptography migration roadmap extends through 2028.

Why it matters: Organizations relying on Google Cloud services need to understand the timeline for quantum-safe encryption deployment and plan their own cryptographic transitions accordingly to protect long-lived data.
