Organizations and technology providers are actively preparing for what is being termed \"Q-Day,\" the point at which quantum computers can break current cryptographic systems.\n\nHere are key findings from the past week:\n\n*   **NIST Standards Finalized:** The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finalized the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, marking a crucial step in the transition to quantum-resistant security.
