A quantum cybersecurity agenda for Europe
summary
European Policy Centre paper argues that quantum computing already shifts the cyber risk landscape and recommends an EU coordinated action plan plus a national-level quantum transition working group, redirected funding toward post-quantum cryptography (not only QKD), and technical sandboxes. It cites startling figures — €5.5 trillion cybercrime cost and a claimed 1 in 7 chance by 2026 of breaking common crypto — and reports the July paper (cited by the New York Times) is driving a phase two of policy engagement.
