ANSSI and the G7 Cybersecurity Working Group issued a call to action on September 3, 2026 urging governments and organizations to start transitioning to quantum-safe encryption. The move elevates post-quantum cryptography (PQC) as a public-sector cybersecurity priority because quantum computing threatens public-key cryptography. It also pushes a phased, risk-based migration approach across all sectors, not just critical infrastructure.

ANSSI-led G7 call urges quantum-safe encryption transition
Legal Policy Action UpdateOn September 3, 2026, the G7 Cybersecurity Working Group chaired by ANSSI urged governments and organizations to begin transitioning to quantum-safe encryption, reframing quantum computing as a near-term threat to public-key cryptography. The guidance calls for inventorying cryptographic assets, mapping dependencies, prioritizing critical systems, and adopting a phased, risk-based migration plan aligned with normal renewal cycles. The call was signed by the national cybersecurity agencies of all G7 member-states and supported by the EU Commission and ENISA.
