France to approve only quantum-resistant security products from 2027
France just announced that starting in 2027, only security products with quantum-resistant encryption will get official approval.
This big move, revealed at the France Quantum Conference by Samih Soussi, chief of staff at France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI, is all about protecting critical systems from future quantum hacking.
By 2030, businesses should purchase quantum-safe products.
Experts warn of future quantum decryption
Experts are sounding the alarm on "harvest now and decrypt later" attacks, meaning data stolen today could be cracked open once quantum computers get stronger.
Companies like OVHcloud admit it's tough to meet strict new standards while keeping old data safe.
With a $3.5 billion national push and warnings from IBM Quantum that real threats could arrive by the mid-2030s, France is leading the charge to keep information secure for years to come.
