About us
Welcome to the global home for people preparing for the quantum era.
This community brings together researchers, cybersecurity professionals, engineers, cryptographers, policymakers, and curious learners who want clear, evidence-based insight into quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, CRQC timelines, and the real security implications of emerging quantum technologies.
Our mission is simple: understand the future, secure the future, and build it together.
In a world full of hype and confusion, we focus on clarity. We track meaningful scientific progress - from error-corrected quantum computing and below-threshold demonstrations to PQC standards, national strategies, QKD pilots, and the growing need for crypto-agility.
We also examine the risks, timelines, and practical challenges that quantum technologies introduce to cybersecurity, critical infrastructure, and global digital systems.
What to expect here:
• Online meetups featuring researchers, practitioners, security leaders, and policy experts
• Deep-dive discussions on PQC migration, CRQC capabilities, and quantum-safe architectures
• Breakdowns of new papers, hardware announcements, standards, and policies
• Honest analysis that separates genuine breakthroughs from media hype
• A collaborative, international community focused on learning and practical preparedness
• In-person gatherings and local meetups in various cities as community chapters form
We operate as a global network first, with local groups emerging wherever members want to meet, teach, and collaborate in person - from major tech hubs to regional clusters. Every member is welcome to propose or host a local meetup once there’s interest in their city.
Whether you’re a quantum scientist, a security engineer, a policymaker, or someone exploring the field for the first time, you’re welcome here. This is a global, open, growing community for anyone who wants to understand quantum technologies - and help others understand them too.
Join us as we build a clear, connected, and quantum-safe future.

Quantum Security Community - Online Fortnightly Update (EMEA, APAC)
·OnlineOnlineQuantum Security Community is a free, global, practitioner-led network sharing real-world PQC insights and supporting one another through the most complex IT/OT security transformation of our time. Explore the channels at Quantum.Security
------------------
A weekly, online community meetup for quantum security practitioners — focused on signal, not hype.
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC), crypto agility, quantum threat models, and standards timelines are all evolving quickly. For security teams, the challenge isn’t “finding information” — it’s deciding what matters, what changed, and what to do next. Quantum Security Weekly exists to make that easier.
We run the same meetup twice each week to cover global time zones:
- Session 1: Europe / Middle East / APAC-friendly
- Session 2: Europe / Americas-friendly
(Choose the one that fits your schedule - content is aligned across both.)
### What happens each week
You’ll get a curated update across the four categories that consistently drive real-world decisions:
1) Regulation & policy signals
New requirements, supervisory guidance, national strategies, procurement rules, sector-specific expectations - and what they imply for timelines and planning.2) Standards and “rules of the road”
Updates to cryptographic standards and related ecosystems (protocols, identity, secure elements, industry frameworks). We focus on what changes adoption feasibility, interoperability, or audit/compliance expectations.3) Technical developments
Credible signals about quantum computing capability, relevant cryptanalysis, and meaningful algorithmic/security research (including “RSA-breaking” or signature-related developments) - explained in terms of security impact, not headlines.4) Practical implementation reality
The stuff that makes or breaks programs: where crypto actually lives, dependency chains, vendor readiness, device constraints, performance tradeoffs, rollout sequencing, and “what we learned the hard way.”### Speakers and community contributions
We often invite a guest speaker to share practical experience (implementation lessons, program strategy, technical deep dives). Sometimes we’ll host short product introductions - but the default posture is educational and experience-driven, not salesy. When there’s no guest, we go deeper on the week’s most important developments and prioritize Q&A.
### Typical Agenda
0:00 – 0:05 | Welcome + how to engage (fast)
- What this meetup is: signal > hype, practical implications, community-first
- How to participate today: chat, Q&A flow, how to drop links/resources
- Quick reminder of community channels (Forum / Slack / LinkedIn group) and how to continue the conversation after the call
0:05 – 0:25 | The Weekly Signal Brief (what actually changed)
A structured scan in four buckets, with a “so what?” for each:- Policy & regulation: new drafts, mandates, enforcement signals, procurement rules
- Standards & frameworks: PQC standards movement, protocol ecosystem changes, guidance updates
- Quantum capability signals: credible progress indicators (hardware, error correction, scaling), what to ignore
- Cryptography/cryptanalysis: meaningful research developments, “RSA/ECC breaking” signals, security relevance
0:25 – 0:35 | Myth‑Busting / Reality Check (the hype audit)
If something got hyped this week, we’ll do a quick, repeatable teardown:- What happened (one sentence)
- What didn’t happen (the misconception)
- What it means for defenders (real impact)
- What changes / what doesn’t in PQC planning this year
Goal: keep the community calibrated, reduce panic, and prevent misallocation of effort.
0:35 – 0:50 | One Topic, Deeper (the week’s main story)
A focused deep dive on one theme that affects real programs, such as:- crypto-agility patterns and failure modes
- hybrid deployment realities (where it works / where it’s a trap)
- migration sequencing and vendor dependency bottlenecks
- what a standards change means for architects and CISOs
- integrity-first thinking (e.g., signatures, trust anchors, long-lived evidence)
0:50 – 1:05 | Guest Spotlight (most weeks) OR Community Lightning Round
- Guest Spotlight (preferred when available):
- 10–12 min: experience share / lessons learned / case study / product walkthrough (kept educational)
- 3–5 min: moderated Q&A (“what surprised you / what broke / what you’d do differently”)
- If no guest:
- 3 lightning shares (3–4 min each): “one paper / one tool / one lesson / one vendor signal”
1:05 – 1:10 | Community Pulse (cross‑channel highlights)
- “Top 3 threads” from various community channels this week
- Quick call-outs: members looking for feedback, volunteer opportunities, upcoming topics
- How to propose a guest / suggest topics / share resources for next week
1:10 – 1:28 | Open Q&A / Office Hours
- Live questions (chat + audio)
- “Bring your messy problem” time: inventory, vendor claims, timeline pressure, governance, metrics
- Optional: rapid-fire “yes/no + why” on 5–8 quick questions if the room is lively
1:28 – 1:30 | Wrap + next week preview
- 3 takeaways in 30 seconds
- What we’re tracking next week
- Speaker/volunteer reminder (“If you’ve shipped something, we want the story.”)
### Who should join
If you’re responsible for security strategy, cryptography, identity, platform security, resilience, compliance, or product security - and quantum is on your roadmap - this is for you.
### What you’ll leave with
- Clear visibility into what changed this week
- Better judgment on what’s noise vs. actionable signal
- Practical framing for decisions you may need to revisit (inventory, standards alignment, vendor dependencies, rollout sequencing)
- A community you can learn from (and contribute to)
