Google Cloud Sets Out Post-Quantum Roadmap With 2029 Readiness Goal

Google Cloud is proactively preparing its infrastructure for the advent of quantum computing by outlining a roadmap to transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Their goal is to achieve full readiness by 2029, focusing on mitigating risks associated with ‘Store Now Decrypt Later’ (SNDL) attacks, strengthening digital signatures, and building cryptographic agility. Google is currently implementing changes across its infrastructure, including API endpoints and load balancers, and plans to expand PQC support to key management services and hardware-backed security solutions.
