Guest Post — Looking Ahead: ‘The Best Time to Prep for Quantum Was 20 Years Ago…’

Bryce Bailey and Matt Todd discuss why organizations should begin preparing for quantum computing now, arguing that quantum readiness is no longer a distant technical issue but an immediate legal, cybersecurity and governance priority. They highlight emerging risks related to post-quantum cryptography, supply chain constraints, export controls, cloud services and technology contracts, emphasizing that businesses should incorporate quantum considerations into their compliance and risk management strategies today. Bailey and Todd conclude that organizations that proactively address these challenges will be better positioned to navigate the legal and operational implications of quantum computing as the technology continues to mature.
