Y2Q: The Quantum Threat Timeline
Y2Q (Years to Quantum) represents the countdown to when quantum computers will be capable of breaking current cryptographic systems. Understanding this timeline is crucial for preparing your organization.
The Y2Q Timeline
Key milestones in the quantum computing threat landscape.
Current State
Quantum computers exist but cannot yet break modern encryption. However, "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attacks are already happening.
Critical Window
Experts predict quantum computers capable of breaking RSA-2048 could emerge. Organizations should complete migration to PQC.
CSA Y2Q Date
Cloud Security Alliance predicts April 14, 2030 as the date when current cryptographic systems become vulnerable.
US Federal Deadline
US Government mandates all federal systems must migrate to post-quantum cryptography by this date.
Why Y2Q Matters Today
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Adversaries are collecting encrypted data today, storing it until quantum computers can decrypt it. Your data's future security is at risk now.
Cryptographic Collapse
RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman—the foundations of internet security—will be vulnerable to Shor's algorithm on quantum computers.
Accelerating Timeline
61% of security professionals expect quantum attacks within 2-5 years. Investment in quantum computing is growing exponentially.
Preparing for the Quantum Era
At Quantam Secure, we believe in building security that anticipates tomorrow's risks. While quantum threats are on the horizon, the most critical vulnerabilities today remain human-centric.
Our flagship product, KnowSpams, addresses the immediate threat— phishing and social engineering attacks that cause 95% of breaches. Meanwhile, our research team continuously explores post-quantum cryptography to ensure our clients are prepared for what's coming.
This dual approach—solving today's challenges while building for tomorrow—is at the core of our mission.
Start Preparing Today
The transition to quantum-resilient security takes time. Organizations that start now will be better positioned when quantum threats materialize.
Don't Wait for Y2Q
Start strengthening your security today with KnowSpams, and let us help you build a roadmap for quantum readiness.
