At Davos 2026, Timo Bozsolik‑Torres, Head of AI for Cybersecurity at SandboxAQ, sits down with Tom Patterson, Global Lead for Quantum Security at Accenture, to discuss why quantum security has moved from future risk to immediate priority.
After years of warning about the coming impact of quantum computing on encryption, Tom explains how the conversation has shifted from “Is this real?” to “What do we do now?” across governments, enterprises, and critical infrastructure.
In this conversation, they explore:
-Why quantum security is now discussed across business, IT, procurement, and policy—not just CISOs
-How today’s global infrastructure is fundamentally dependent on encryption
-Why the transition to post-quantum cryptography is unavoidable and universal
-How this moment compares to Y2K—and why the stakes are far higher
-The balance between technical solutions and organizational readiness
-The role of regulation, standards, and government purchasing power
-Why Q-Day timelines have compressed from 2035 to ~2030 or sooner
Tom also explains why this transition doesn’t require “magic,” but does require action, and why organizations that start now will ultimately be more secure, efficient, and resilient.
