Quantum Readiness in 2026: Assessment Checklist and Action Plan for post-quantum era
The honest starting point is current-state cryptography. Roughly thirty percent of an average enterprise network runs on protocols that were broken years ago, and the existing security stack does not surface any of it. That is the cryptographic exposure organizations have today, regardless of when a…

Microsoft’s CryptoAPI flaw/CurveBall: a teaser of the quantum threat
The National Security Agency recently discovered a major cryptographic flaw in Microsoft’s low-level code within their operating system. This flaw, now known as CurveBall, was found within Windows CryptoAPI and effects the way Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) x.509 certificates are validated, giving…
How Quantum Computing’s Threat to Security is Different from All Other Security Breaches
The quantum threat represents the first time in history that a cybersecurity breach will be the result of a complete break of modern public-key cryptography. For many, this information might come as a surprise. There seems to be a new security breach almost every day; in January 2018 a bug was discovered…
