## In brief

- Malaysia is considering accelerating its transition to quantum-resistant security.
- The government is exploring measures to protect national data from future quantum computing threats.
- Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has instructed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to act on the matter.

## Why it matters

A national government moving earlier to quantum-resistant security signals that post-quantum cryptography planning is moving from research into policy, which affects how public-sector data is protected.
