QUANTUM THREAT INTELLIGENCE

NSA, CISA and ASD Publish the Post-Quantum Questions to Ask Your Vendors for Procurement and Renewals

On November 4, 2026 the NSA joined CISA and the Australian Signals Directorate's ACSC in releasing Post-quantum questions to ask your vendors, a vendor neutral question set for procurement, contract renewals and ongoing supplier assurance organized around five transition phases, from inventorying cryptographic dependencies to implementing post-quantum algorithms. Canadian operators planning a network refresh now have an allied checklist to attach to every RFP.

Why this matters for your infrastructure

Every advance in quantum computing shortens the window for migrating long lived infrastructure off quantum-vulnerable encryption, and data captured today can be decrypted later. Fabric Networks helps energy, government, telecom and community networks move to quantum-safe encryption on their own timeline, not an adversary's.
