On October 28 2025, Cloudflare published a report revealing that over half of all human-initiated traffic on its global network now uses quantum-safe encryption to defend against “harvest-now, decrypt-later” threats.
Highlights:
-
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is no longer theory — it’s actively deployed.
-
The transition across major networks signals that quantum threats are a ‘when,’ not an ‘if.’
-
Security organizations like ISACA and IEEE are urging companies to inventory and migrate their crypto assets now, not later.
Why it’s critical for PQApps:
This data proves the market is moving. Quantum-resistant software isn’t optional anymore — it’s the new baseline for privacy, compliance, and trust. PQApps can leverage this trend for white-papers, case studies, and marketing narratives showing real-world adoption.
“The quantum threat is no longer vaporware — it’s live traffic being encrypted today.”
