Europol and US GAO Sound the Alarm Over Quantum Threats

Europol and the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) have issued warnings about quantum computing threats to current cryptographic systems. Both organizations are calling for accelerated adoption of post-quantum cryptography to mitigate future risks.

Why it matters: Organizations handling sensitive data must begin evaluating and planning migration to quantum-resistant cryptographic standards, as both US federal and international authorities now prioritize this transition.
