How to build a cryptographic inventory (CBOM) in six steps
Every post-quantum roadmap starts with the same task, finding out where your cryptography is. This guide covers how to build that cryptographic inventory, what to record for each item, and the mistakes that make it useless.

Harvest now, decrypt later: why your data is already at risk
An attacker does not need a quantum computer today to steal what you encrypt today. They only need to record it and wait. Which data that puts at risk, and what reduces the exposure.

How to choose your first quantum use case (and when to wait)
Most problems a company brings to quantum computing turn out to be classical problems. A short scoring exercise tells you which one or two are worth a pilot, and saves you from the rest.

Is quantum computing useful yet? Real results and overclaims
Quantum computers did things in 2025 that classical machines could not match, and some of those results were real science. None of them solved a business problem better than a good classical method. Each claim appears below next to its strongest critique.

Latin America quantum strategies: Chile, Brazil, Mexico
Only Chile has a published national quantum strategy. Brazil has the most money. Mexico has academic depth and a brand-new security council. Colombia funds projects call by call. A side-by-side reference with sources, amounts and dates.

Post-quantum cryptography explained: FIPS 203, 204 and 205
NIST finalized three post-quantum standards in August 2024. Your browser already uses one of them. Here is what each one does, what is still missing, and what it means for your systems.

Post-quantum migration deadlines: US, EU, UK, G7 and LatAm
A dated table of the post-quantum cryptography deadlines set by the US, the EU, the UK, Canada and the G7, what each one binds, and why companies in Latin America will feel them before their own regulators act.

Post-quantum roadmap for Latin American banks to 2030
We checked what Colombia's SFC, Mexico's CNBV and Banxico, Chile's CMF and the Banco Central do Brasil have published on post-quantum cryptography. The short version is very little, which is why banks in the region need their own dated plan.

Quantum computing in Colombia: research, funding, business
Colombia has a teaching quantum computer, an ion-trap processor under construction, a royalty-funded quantum metrology project and yearly Minciencias calls. It does not yet have a national quantum strategy or a commercial quantum industry. This is the sourced picture, with dates and amounts.

Quantum computing in finance: what banks can do today
The finance experiments behind the headlines, what they proved and what they didn't, and why the part with a real deadline is cryptography, not algorithms.

Quantum computing roadmap 2026 to 2030: IBM, Google, rivals
Four companies now say a useful, error-corrected quantum computer arrives around 2029. Here is what each one has actually shipped, what is still a slide, and which signals should change your plans.

What is quantum computing? A plain explanation for business
Quantum computers do not try every answer at once, and they will not replace your laptop. They are a different kind of machine that is very good at a narrow set of problems, and one of those problems is breaking the encryption the internet runs on.

When is Q-Day? What Google, Microsoft and experts say
Nobody can name the year a quantum computer breaks today's encryption. But the cost of doing it fell by more than an order of magnitude in twelve months, and two of the largest tech companies changed their plans because of it.
