France plans to phase out existing cryptographic systems to prepare for the era of quantum computers. From 2027 it will stop certifying security products that do not apply post-quantum cryptography, and by 2030 it aims to steer government agencies and critical infrastructure operators to adopt only quantum-resistant products. The move is linked to concerns about “Q-Day” and “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, and is expected to accelerate quantum-risk discussions in blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Synology Managing Director Mike Chen (마이크 첸) said companies cannot treat AI as optional but warned that adopting AI without properly controlling vast legacy data can undermine data sovereignty. Speaking at a Computex 2026 keynote in Taipei, he cited a Gartner survey showing widespread employee use of personal AI and disclosures of pasting sensitive company data into external tools. He outlined Synology’s three-part approach: data ownership, security AI and trusted disaster recovery.
