Google Cloud presents a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) roadmap aimed at reducing “store-now, decrypt-later” risk from future quantum computers. The plan sets a first major milestone by 2027, focused on mitigating that risk through cryptographic changes for protected data and services.
Google Cloud also lays out broader migration and readiness goals that extend beyond 2027. One outlet reports wider migration objectives running through 2028, while another describes a broader target of full readiness by 2029. Both accounts characterize the roadmap as a phased effort with multiple milestones, rather than a single deployment date, reflecting the time needed to update systems and cryptographic protocols.
