QIZ Security and Google Cloud partner on quantum-safe encryption

"QIZ Security, a cryptographic posture management startup, has announced a collaboration with Google Cloud designed to help enterprises accelerate their migration to quantum-resistant cryptography, a shift that regulators and technologists increasingly regard as urgent."

"The partnership combines QIZ's platform, which discovers and inventories cryptographic assets across hybrid environments, with Google Cloud's global infrastructure and security tooling. Together, they aim to give organisations unified visibility into cryptographic risk spanning cloud workloads, on-premises systems, applications, databases, and broader infrastructure."

"At the heart of the initiative is a problem the security community has warned about for years: quantum computers are expected to eventually break widely used public-key cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. That prospect has given rise to so-called “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, in which adversaries intercept and stockpile encrypted data today with the intention of decrypting it once sufficiently powerful quantum machines become available."

"The timeline for that scenario appears to be shrinking. In March 2026, Google shortened its internal deadline for completing a full migration to post-quantum cryptography, targeting 2029, years ahead of the US government's own benchmarks. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finalised its first three post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, codifying algorithms such as ML-KEM and"

QIZ Security and Google Cloud collaborate to help enterprises accelerate migration to quantum-resistant cryptography. The effort combines QIZ’s cryptographic posture management platform with Google Cloud infrastructure and security tooling. The platform discovers and inventories cryptographic assets across hybrid environments, providing unified visibility into cryptographic risk across cloud workloads, on-premises systems, applications, databases, and broader infrastructure. The initiative targets the risk that future quantum computers could break widely used public-key cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. This risk enables “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where adversaries store encrypted data today to decrypt it later. The urgency increases as migration timelines tighten, including Google’s internal target and NIST’s post-quantum standards.
