Q-Day, the moment quantum machines can break today’s cryptography, is moving from theory into telecom planning cycles. RSA. ECC. Authentication systems. SIM security. Identity management. All at risk.

For CSPs, this is not a future problem. Encrypted traffic captured today could be decrypted tomorrow. Enterprise, IoT and government networks sit on the same vulnerable foundations. So the real question is: how prepared is the industry?
