Key Takeaways
Launch Event: The Global Quantum Threat Alliance (GQTA) debuted at CyberPeace Summit 2.0 on February 10, 2026, in New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam.
Core Focus: Unites governments, industry, and academia to counter quantum computing risks to encryption in critical sectors worldwide.
Four Objectives: Threat intelligence, post-quantum migration pathways, intelligence sharing, and accelerated innovation for quantum-safe solutions.
CyberPeace Foundation and Synergy Quantum have launched the Global Quantum Threat Alliance (GQTA) at the CyberPeace Summit 2.0, an event that took place on February 10, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, India. This new initiative brings together a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, national security groups, critical infrastructure operators, technology providers, cryptography specialists, standards organizations, researchers, and universities. Because quantum computing threatens to break current encryption standards, the alliance seeks to coordinate global efforts and prepare for these emerging dangers before they disrupt digital trust across banking systems, defense networks, healthcare, satellites, and government communications.
Organizers describe the GQTA as an action-focused platform rather than a discussion group or temporary effort. CyberPeace Foundation serves as the neutral steward, building on a Memorandum of Understanding signed with Synergy Quantum in February 2025 to tackle digital security issues. For example, adversaries already collect encrypted data today in hopes of decrypting it later with quantum tools, which makes a unified response essential now instead of waiting for clearer signs of immediate danger.
The alliance recognizes quantum risk as a shared global issue that requires joint solutions. Therefore, it pursues four main objectives to guide its work and deliver practical outcomes for members. First, participants will build a unified threat intelligence framework that assesses quantum vulnerabilities in real time across international digital systems and helps prioritize the most exposed cryptographic elements. Second, the group will create shared migration pathways to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), complete with standardized protocols, tested guidance, and resources to simplify the shift for supply chains, industries, and countries.
Jay Oberai, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Synergy Quantum, highlighted the urgency during the announcement. “We are standing at a rare inflection point in history. Quantum technologies are rapidly moving from laboratories to operational reality, and their implications for global security are profound. The cryptographic foundations that protect our banking systems, defence networks, healthcare data, and national infrastructure will not survive the quantum era in their current form. The Global Quantum Threat Alliance is our collective answer — a commitment by nations, industries, and institutions to act together, decisively, before the window of preparation closes. History will not judge us by how early we recognised this threat, but by how decisively we acted.”

Major Vineet Kumar, Founder and Global President of the CyberPeace Foundation, stressed the importance of solidarity. “The CyberPeace Foundation was established on the principle that digital security is a shared responsibility that transcends borders and sectors. The quantum threat represents precisely the kind of challenge that demands global solidarity. Synergy Quantum brings deep expertise in quantum security, sovereign cryptographic infrastructure, and post-quantum migration — capabilities that are essential to translating this Alliance from vision into operational impact. Together, we are building something that no single institution could achieve alone. We are proud to serve as the convening platform for the Global Quantum Threat Alliance, and we call upon governments, institutions, and industry leaders worldwide to join this critical initiative. The CyberPeace Summit has always been about turning dialogue into action — and today, with the launch of the GQTA, we have taken a decisive step toward securing the digital future for all.”

The initiative extends an open call for founding members from various sectors to participate and contribute. In contrast to isolated efforts, this platform promises inclusive, neutral cooperation focused on tangible preparation. Organizations interested in joining can help shape responses to one of the most pressing security issues ahead.
Who launched it, what it entails, when and where it happened, why it matters, and how it will operate all point to proactive steps against quantum vulnerabilities. Consequently, the Global Quantum Threat Alliance stands positioned to guide coordinated worldwide action and safeguard digital systems in the coming years. Stakeholders now have the opportunity to engage and strengthen collective defenses.
