Silicon Quantum Computing has appointed a new Chief Legal Officer, Karna Nisewaner, with over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors1. Nisewaner's background, including her recent role as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Cadence Design Systems, will likely influence the company's global corporate strategy. Other key players in the quantum computing space, such as Pasqal, JIJ, IQM Quantum Computers, IBM, and PostScriptum, have also made strategic appointments. These moves indicate a growing focus on quantum development and deployment. As companies like IBM continue to advance in quantum computing, the need for cryptographic migration and post-quantum cryptography planning becomes increasingly urgent. The timeline for migration is narrowing, making it essential for practitioners to prioritize quantum-resistant cryptographic measures. This shift has significant implications for the security of sensitive data and highlights the importance of proactive planning in the face of emerging quantum threats.
