Veeam used its VeeamON 2026 conference in New York City to preview v13.1 of its Data Platform with 70+ new features, a new DataAI Command Platform, and post-quantum cryptography support.

The May 2026 major release hardens the BEAM runtime's security posture with quantum-resistant cryptography defaults and disabled SSH shell access, while adding experimental native records to the language for the first time.

A Google Quantum AI whitepaper shows fewer than 500,000 qubits could break elliptic curve cryptography in minutes, a 20-fold improvement over prior estimates that accelerates the post-quantum migration timeline.

Signal's SPQR protocol adds a quantum-safe ratchet alongside the Double Ratchet, with server-side enforcement now rolling out to new accounts.

Google's seven-year open-source hardware security project reaches production in Dell Chromebooks with post-quantum cryptography, and data center deployment planned for later this year.

Broadcom announced the first end-to-end post-quantum cryptography-safe in-flight network encryption solution for Fibre Channel storage, shipping over 120,000 adapters as NIST sets a 2030 deadline to deprecate RSA and enterprises race to counter harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
