The Hardest Part of Quantum-Proofing a Company Isn't the Encryption. It's Deciding Where to Start

NEW YORK, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American News Group News Commentary - Every large organization now faces a version of the same looming problem: the encryption that protects its data today was not built to withstand a quantum computer, and one day it may need to be replaced across the entire enterprise. Governments have set migration deadlines, standards bodies have published the new algorithms, and the biggest technology companies have committed to being quantum-safe by the end of the decade. Yet for most organizations the obstacle is not a lack of solutions. It is knowing where to begin, what it will cost, how long it will take, and which systems to touch first, in an environment where a single misstep can break critical services. A Canadian cybersecurity company has just introduced a tool aimed squarely at that planning problem. Companies mentioned in today's commentary include: Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN80), CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: PANW), Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT), and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM).
