Quantum Computing Risks to Data Privacy: C2 CEO Mike Logan on Google’s Willow Breakthrough
Google’s unveiling of its Willow quantum chip highlights the quantum computing risks to data privacy that enterprises must prepare for today. Willow achieved exponential error suppression and performed a benchmark task in minutes that would take supercomputers septillions of years. While it cannot yet break encryption, experts believe post-quantum threats could arrive within the next decade. These advances make it clear: quantum privacy risks are no longer theoretical. Organizations relying on today’s encryption must start laying the groundwork for post-quantum security. Enterprises cannot wait for the moment when quantum computers catch up—they must invest in stronger privacy controls, encryption strategies, and compliance frameworks now. “At C2 Data Technology, we see every breakthrough like Willow as a signal,” said Mike Logan, Founder and CEO of C2 Data Technology and Axis Technology. “Enterprises that act early on data discovery, protection, and governance will be resilient against tomorrow’s quantum threats. Waiting until encryption is broken is not an option.” Axis Technology and C2 Data Technology specialize in building privacy-first data foundations that help organizations modernize securely while staying compliant with evolving regulations. By embedding discovery, masking, encryption, and governance into daily operations, enterprises gain confidence that sensitive data remains protected—even as new technologies like quantum computing accelerate.
