QIZ Security has partnered with Google Cloud to provide enterprises with a centralized platform for identifying cryptographic risks and accelerating the transition to quantum-resistant encryption standards.

Key Points

• The collaboration integrates QIZ’s cryptographic posture management platform with Google Cloud’s infrastructure to monitor hybrid environments.
• The initiative addresses the threat of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, where adversaries stockpile encrypted data for future decryption by quantum computers.
• NIST finalized its first three post-quantum cryptography standards, including ML-KEM and ML-DSA, in August 2024.
• Google has set an internal deadline of 2029 for completing its migration to post-quantum cryptography.
• The NSA’s CNSA 2.0 suite mandates the use of quantum-resistant algorithms for new national security system acquisitions starting in January 2027.

Why it Matters

This partnership provides a critical framework for organizations in regulated sectors to manage the complex transition toward quantum-resistant security protocols. By automating cryptographic discovery, companies can mitigate the risk of data exposure and ensure compliance with tightening global regulatory deadlines.
