Let me be blunt: if you’re an executive who still thinks “quantum computing is years away, we’ll deal with it later,” you are gambling with the future of your company.

Quantum computing is no longer hype. Governments are pouring billions into it, timelines are collapsing, and regulators are already setting deadlines. The threat isn’t about the distant future—it’s about right now. Attackers are stealing data today, archiving it, and waiting to crack it the moment quantum machines mature. If you’re holding valuable data, you should assume it’s already in someone else’s vault.

This is not an IT problem. This is an executive leadership problem.

Why You Can’t Afford to Wait

• Compliance risk: Post-quantum mandates are coming fast. If you do business with government or enterprise supply chains, you will have no choice but to comply.
• Reputation risk: Imagine explaining to your customers, shareholders, or regulators that you ignored a threat that was on every horizon scan.
• Competitive risk: The companies that act first will build trust. The laggards will play defense, under pressure, and too late.

Why Qryptonic

I serve on the Advisory Board of Qryptonic for one reason: they are the best I’ve seen when it comes to quantum security testing. Their flagship QStrike™ 6.0 Enterprise Security Assessment maps out your vulnerabilities and provides a quantum-resilient roadmap before it’s too late.

If you’re skeptical or just want a low-friction first step, start with their Q-Scout 7-Day Cryptographic Risk Assessment. It’s a fixed-cost engagement that delivers a risk score, an executive summary, and board-ready recommendations you can act on immediately.

Here’s the Bottom Line

If you’re a CEO or board member, you don’t get to kick this can down the road. Quantum is coming, your data is already at risk, and regulators won’t accept “we didn’t know” as an excuse.

If you’re not going to use Qryptonic, then fine—choose somebody. But do something. Waiting is the most dangerous strategy of all.
