Toshiba Highlights Growing Momentum for Quantum-Safe Security at Post-Quantum Security Summit 2026
- Highlights
Singapore, 3 September 2026 – Toshiba Asia Pacific participated as a Panel Sponsor at the Post-Quantum Security Summit (PQSS) 2026, joining cybersecurity leaders, technology providers, policymakers, and enterprise decision-makers to discuss the evolving landscape of quantum-safe security and its implications for organizations across the region.
A recurring theme throughout the summit was that quantum readiness is no longer viewed solely as a technology challenge. As organizations prepare for future cybersecurity risks, quantum-safe security is increasingly being considered through the broader lenses of governance, risk management, regulatory compliance, and long-term business resilience.
Representing Toshiba on the conference panel was Anandaraman Sankaran, Strategic Partnerships & Marketing Lead, APAC, Toshiba Asia Pacific, who joined industry experts for a discussion on “Governance, Risk, and Regulatory Implications of Quantum-Safe Security.” The panel explored how organizations can assess quantum-related risks, communicate preparedness to leadership and stakeholders, and develop practical strategies for their transition to quantum-safe security.
From Toshiba’s perspective, quantum readiness is fundamentally a question of timing. The risks posed by future quantum computers have implications for sensitive data today, particularly as encrypted information can be harvested now and potentially decrypted in the future when sufficiently powerful quantum computing capabilities become available. As a result, organizations are encouraged to move beyond awareness and begin developing executable migration plans supported by governance, practical testing, and cross-industry collaboration.
Toshiba also highlighted the importance of taking a structured and phased approach to quantum-safe adoption. Building visibility of existing cryptographic assets, understanding business-critical risks, and establishing long-term migration roadmaps can help organizations prepare for future regulatory requirements and evolving security expectations.
A key enabler of this journey is ecosystem collaboration. Initiatives such as Singapore’s National Quantum-Safe Network Plus (NQSN+) provide valuable opportunities for organizations to evaluate quantum-safe technologies in real-world environments, gain operational experience, and build confidence in their transition strategies. Such initiatives can help accelerate the adoption of quantum-safe practices while supporting long-term cyber resilience.
Throughout the event, Toshiba engaged with attendees from across the cybersecurity ecosystem, including enterprise users, financial institutions, technology providers, government representatives, and industry specialists. Discussions reflected growing interest in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum key distribution (QKD), and hybrid approaches that combine both technologies to strengthen security while balancing operational considerations and investment priorities.
Toshiba’s participation reinforced the company’s commitment to advancing quantum-safe communications. By combining QKD and PQC technologies, Toshiba supports organizations in protecting critical digital infrastructure and preparing for a future where quantum-resilient security becomes an essential component of cyber resilience strategies.
The summit provided a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives with industry stakeholders and gain insights into the evolving quantum-safe landscape in Singapore and across Asia Pacific. Toshiba looks forward to continuing these discussions and collaborating with customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem to support the transition towards a more secure and resilient digital future.
