DigiCert's 2026 Quantum Readiness Outlook
Every week I see organisations announcing their Post-Quantum Cryptography strategy. Strategies. Roadmaps. Working groups. Steering committees. Pilot programmes. Then along comes some actual data. DigiCert's 2026 Quantum Readiness Outlook surveyed 1,001 IT and cybersecurity decision-makers across the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. 87% say they are planning, testing or implementing PQC. Only 7% have deployed quantum-safe or hybrid cryptography across most of their

PQC Discovery Sprint
One of the questions we're asked more than any other is: "What actually happens during a Discovery Sprint?" This carousel answers that question. Rather than talking about methodology, we've opened the lid on a real engagement for an anonymised digital challenger bank. You'll see how assumptions are tested, how evidence is gathered, why cryptographic inventories rarely reconcile, and how governance failures become visible long before any discussion about post-quantum algorithm

You know every day I challenge people who have discovered a new genre of Governance.

๐. Every few weeks someone announces the next revolution. AI Governance. Quantum Governance. Sovereign Intelligence. Machine-Layer Authority. Algorithmic Governance. No. You've discovered a new technology, a new risk profile or a new application. You haven't discovered a new discipline. So let me ask one question. ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ'๐ฏ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ก

NIST: CSF2.0
NIST CSF 2.0 may be one of the most important Quantum Readiness frameworks available today. Not because it contains a section on quantum computing. It doesn't. Not because it tells organisations which algorithms to deploy. It doesn't do that either. What CSF 2.0 does provide is something far more important. Governance. The 2024 update elevated governance to a core function, recognising that cybersecurity is no longer solely a technology challenge. It is a board, executive and
