Quantum Threats Are Closer Than You Think — Cloudflare Is Already Ahead
Andrea Alaniz, Account Executive
We’re entering a new cybersecurity era…one where the threats we’ll face tomorrow could already be cracking the encryption we rely on today.
That’s not sci-fi. That’s quantum computing.
And Cloudflare is already building defenses for it.
The Quantum Risk: Why Today’s Encryption Might Not Be Enough
Quantum computing will one day break the cryptographic foundations the internet is built on — RSA, ECC, even TLS. The systems protecting your apps, your customer data, your identity infrastructure? Vulnerable.
Experts predict that encrypted data stolen today could be decrypted later, once quantum machines become powerful enough.
The name of this looming threat? Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.
Cloudflare’s Response: The First Cloud-Native Quantum-Safe Solution
While most companies are still talking about “future-proofing,” Cloudflare already launched a quantum-safe Zero Trust architecture, making it possible to encrypt critical traffic with post-quantum cryptography today.
- Built into Cloudflare’s existing network
- No hardware swaps or manual upgrades
- Covers everything from identity to email to web traffic
It’s not just innovative — it’s proactive.
TekStream: Your Quantum-Safe Implementation Partner
Most organizations don’t have quantum on the roadmap — not because it’s not important, but because they don’t know where to start.
As a trusted Cloudflare VAR and Systems Integrator, TekStream helps:
- Identify which assets are most vulnerable
- Activate Cloudflare’s quantum-safe protections across your environment
- Align the tech to your compliance, risk, and operational goals
In short: we make the complex actionable.
Don’t Wait for the Headlines
By the time quantum threats go mainstream, it will be too late to start planning.
The right move is being ready now — and both Cloudflare and TekStream are built to help you do exactly that.
