Quantum XChange CEO Eddy Zervigon Speaks with MeriTalk on Q-Day, PQC Readiness, and Federal Migration

Quantum XChange CEO Eddy Zervigon sat down with MeriTalk to discuss the growing urgency around Q-Day and what federal CIOs need to do today to prepare for the post-quantum cryptography transition.

Zervigon stressed the importance of starting the migration now, focusing first on the largest attack surfaces and highest-value data flows at the network layer. He pushed back on the idea that agencies need to complete a full cryptographic inventory before acting, calling the perceived complexity overstated.

The interview covered several critical topics: why Q-Day is closer than many assume, how AI is accelerating the quantum threat timeline, and why PQC is an architecture problem, not a simple algorithm swap. Zervigon also highlighted the growing momentum across federal civilian, defense, and intelligence organizations.

His advice for federal IT leaders: identify your biggest threat vectors, protect those data pipes now, and stop waiting for a perfect plan.
