"The clock is ticking and may be running out for some."

Dr. Garfield Jones, EVP Strategy and Research at QuSecure

In anticipation of the White House Executive Order on Quantum, Dr. Garfield Jones, EVP Strategy and Research at QuSecure, commented:

This executive order sends an unambiguous signal to every organization doing business with the federal government: the clock is ticking and may be running out for some. The 2030 deadline for key establishment is a tangible compliance deadline, and the gap between where most organizations are today and where they need to be is significant. Agencies and contractors that haven’t started a cryptographic inventory are already behind. The organizations that move now will have options. The ones that wait will find themselves managing a crisis.
