Are we ignoring another “Titanic moment” in tech?

While researching the RMS Titanic sinking recently, I was struck by something profound: the ship received multiple warning signs that could have prevented the catastrophe, yet they were overlooked.

More than a century later, it feels like organizations are repeating the same pattern. Clear warnings exist, but action is slow… or nonexistent.

Today’s iceberg? The rise of Quantum Computing.

If breakthroughs continue at the current pace, much of the classical cryptography securing our digital world today could become vulnerable. That includes everything from financial systems to digital identities and private communications.

The alternative isn’t theoretical anymore. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is already being developed and standardized to withstand quantum attacks. The tools exist, the question is whether organizations will act in time.

History showed us what happens when warnings are ignored.

So here’s what I’m curious about:

-Do you think the quantum threat is being underestimated today?

-What’s realistically stopping organizations from transitioning to PQC right now?

-And if a “breaking point” comes, what do you think it looks like?
