Picture a locked box that anyone can see, but only you can open with a special key you keep hidden. That simple idea powers the security of nearly every cryptocurrency wallet, bank transfer, and secure online login today. A new 110-page analysis from Project Eleven warns that this everyday protection could crumble within four to seven years under the weight of an entirely different kind of machine: the quantum computer. The report, titled The Quantum Threat to Blockchains - 2026 Report, maps

Over the last several years, academia and industry have been converging on a shorter and more realistic timeline to Q-Day. While new research continues to move the Q-Day timeline up to 2028-2030, the scale and scope of the impact have been less clear. Broadly, the expectation has been that quantum attacks on cryptography would be serious, but there has been less information on which to base estimates of their speed, accessibility, and breadth. Two new research papers, released within a day of
1. Preparing the cyber workforce for autonomous security
As security becomes automated, agents are taking on more intelligence-driven tasks, in the security operations center (SOC), as well as compliance and risk management, and identity management. Autonomous security is set to play a critical role in identifying and monitoring non-human identity activity.
2. Navigating geopolitics, building resilience and compliance
Both digital defenses and physical assets are threatened by potential attacks fr
Due to economic turbulence and a relentless surge in cyber threats, today's cybersecurity landscape requires enterprises to remain resilient by adapting to security risks. Many organizations have chosen to adapt to these risks by embracing modern technology such as generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), which can present new risks if not implemented properly. The speed at which companies innovate and adopt new technology is far outpacing the security measures that must be addressed first.
