The company plans to integrate PQC requirements into its Secure Future Initiative, focusing on upgrading network cryptography, building crypto-agility for stored data, and securing trust chains. This move aligns with broader industry trends and government initiatives to prepare for the eventual threat posed by quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption standards.","Microsoft accelerates post-quantum cryptography shift to 2029 due to quantum computing advances.","https:\u002F\u002Fthehackernews.com\u002F2026\u002F07\u002Fmicrosoft-accelerates-post-quantum.html","https:\u002F\u002Fblogger.googleusercontent.com\u002Fimg\u002Fb\u002FR29vZ2xl\u002FAVvXsEhyPq-iy_BsDM3LGWIEtwydOynDIApb_bokv6EuarUGUbyIw8tFnntySLPL5FuN0Qw1PIGNzlabEaSq00S9ojIShTnbJyM0kWKUbCcIEOH3eEbdLOpgOumlnXHVvrsn2o9A75a2R3_8vjpTB18P45qaK7CtSuggZyGAb2uA8SGGXp_bUV7mqY4aGNlYGXwM\u002Fs1600\u002FMicrosoft-Encryption.jpg","2026-07-01T10:41:36+00:00","2026-07-01T12:00:24.688676+00:00",8,[17,20,23,25,27,29],{"name":18,"type":19},"Microsoft","vendor",{"name":21,"type":22},"Azure","product",{"name":24,"type":22},"Chrome",{"name":26,"type":19},"Google",{"name":28,"type":19},"Cloudflare",{"name":30,"type":31},"TLS 1.3","technology","0493c7e9-989a-4692-b4e6-136f5ec09675",{"id":32,"icon":34,"name":35,"slug":36},null,"Cryptography","cryptography",[38,40,45,50],{"category":39},{"id":32,"icon":34,"name":35,"slug":36},{"category":41},{"id":42,"icon":34,"name":43,"slug":44},"c5c77cdb-f7d7-4990-9436-c81dcbff1163","Policy","policy",{"category":46},{"id":47,"icon":34,"name":48,"slug":49},"c70f3a41-2f0c-4608-870d-b8cbcd8be076","Cloud Security","cloud-security",{"category":51},{"id":52,"icon":34,"name":53,"slug":54},"e7b231c8-5f79-4465-8d38-1ef13aea5a14","Threat Intelligence","threat-intelligence",[],[18,26,28],{"controls":58,"vendors":88},[59],{"slug":60,"name":61,"problem":62,"products":63},"encryption-key-management","Encryption and key management","Stolen data stays unreadable, and the keys stay under your control.",[64,72,80],{"vendor_slug":65,"vendor_name":66,"vendor_logo":67,"product_slug":68,"product_name":69,"url":70,"description":71},"hashicorp","HashiCorp","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fhashicorp.png","vault","HashiCorp Vault","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.hashicorp.com\u002Fen\u002Fproducts\u002Fvault","Secrets management with short-lived credentials and encryption as a service.",{"vendor_slug":73,"vendor_name":74,"vendor_logo":75,"product_slug":76,"product_name":77,"url":78,"description":79},"utimaco","Utimaco","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Futimaco.png","utimaco-hsm","Utimaco General Purpose HSM","https:\u002F\u002Futimaco.com\u002Fdata-protection\u002Fgp-hsm","Hardware security modules for key generation, storage and cryptographic operations.",{"vendor_slug":81,"vendor_name":82,"vendor_logo":83,"product_slug":84,"product_name":85,"url":86,"description":87},"thales","Thales","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fthales.png","luna-hsm","Thales Luna HSM","https:\u002F\u002Fcpl.thalesgroup.com\u002Fencryption\u002Fhardware-security-modules","Hardware security modules for protecting cryptographic keys.",[89],{"slug":90,"name":18,"logo_path":91,"roles":92},"microsoft","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fmicrosoft.png",[93],"reported_by",{"slug":95,"title":96,"body":97,"framework_refs":98,"framework_notes":108},"quantum-computing-forces-cryptography-overhaul-by-2029","Quantum Computing Forces Cryptography Overhaul by 2029","The rapid advancement of quantum computing poses an existential threat to current encryption standards such as RSA and ECC, which underpin the security of virtually all modern digital communications and stored data.
