SandboxAQ Supports Executive Order as Post-Quantum Cryptography Moves to Implementation for US National Security
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 23, 2026 — The White House this week issued Executive Order 14409 on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), elevating PQC as a critical security priority as we enter the quantum era. “This Executive Order marks a new era in America’s cyber defense posture,” said Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ. “The United States government […] The post SandboxAQ Supports Executive Order as Post-Quantum Cryptography Moves to Implementation for US National Security appeared first on HPCwire .
The US government is formally accelerating the transition to post-quantum cryptography, indicating a recognition that quantum computing is progressing to a point where current encryption methods are vulnerable.
This move signals a concrete, high-level commitment from a major national actor to secure critical infrastructure against future quantum threats, creating significant market opportunities and cybersecurity imperatives.
Post-quantum cryptography is now a mandated and prioritized implementation pathway for US national security, shifting it from R&D to deployment, and creating a new cybersecurity standard.
