CISOs Should Be Asking These Quantum Questions Today

Quantum and quantum-inspired software are already being adopted in production workflows (especially in defense, aerospace, semiconductor, and energy), but existing security, compliance, and SOP frameworks lag behind. The piece warns of cryptographic risk—particularly the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat—and urges organizations to inventory cryptographic algorithms, plan for post-quantum cryptography, and develop quantum-aware SecOps playbooks to maintain visibility, validation, and compliance as quantum methods are integrated into classical infrastructures.
