Add to basketThe emergence of quantum computing introduces a significant shift in the digital and security landscape―prompting organizations to reassess the foundations of how we protect information. Systematic Security: Building Quantum Security is a practical guide for security professionals, technologists, engineers, and organizational leaders seeking to prepare for the long-term impact of quantum technology on existing and future systems.
In this structured and accessible book, cybersecurity expert Timur Qader presents a step-by-step approach to quantum security. By integrating insights from physics, computer science, and applied cybersecurity, the book explains key principles of quantum mechanics―such as superposition, entanglement, and interference―and examines how these principles can both undermine classical encryption and enable alternative methods for securing data.
The book begins by outlining the scientific discoveries that formed the basis of quantum theory, followed by a clear explanation of quantum computing fundamentals. It then guides readers through the current landscape of postquantum cryptography, threat models, and security maturity frameworks. Readers will gain insight into how nation-states, cybercriminals, and enterprises are preparing for the arrival of "Q-Day"―the moment when quantum computers reach the capability to break widely used encryption standards.
More importantly, the book provides practical direction on how to prepare. This includes assessing existing cryptographic tools, adopting NIST-aligned transition strategies, and implementing quantum-resilient approaches to identity, detection, cloud infrastructure, and product security.
Rather than offering speculation or alarm, this book delivers a grounded and strategic approach to building resilience. It helps readers take concrete steps toward quantum readiness, while also exploring the opportunities quantum technology offers for advancing cybersecurity capabilities.
Whether you are maintaining critical systems, developing new technologies, or guiding long term strategy, Building Quantum Security equips you to respond to a rapidly evolving threat landscape shaped by quantum innovation.
Born 1976 in Afghanistan, Timur Qader, the youngest of four, left the country in 1978 because of the coup d’etat and Russian invasion. His father secured a position with the United Nations, and the negotiated terms were that he would go on assignment, and in return, the UN would extract his wife and four kids to meet him in his first assignment. For the next ten years, the family lived in several countries and had the opportunity to experience different cultures along the way.
In 1985, Timur’s father was reassigned to headquarters in New York, and the family moved to Westchester, New York. After graduating from Lakeland High School in Shrub Oak, NY, Timur attended the University of Buffalo, where he received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Right after college, Timur moved to the Capital Region of New York (Albany), where he started work not in engineering but in telecommunications with Bell Atlantic, which shortly became Verizon. Along the way, he completed his MBA and MS in Information Security and met his wife, Vanessa Qader, with whom he had two boys named Xavier and Darian Qader.
Over 25 years, Timur has held multiple positions as CISO and worked for the security think tank Center for Internet Security (CIS). He spends his time with family, exercise, and education. Timur received what he deems as his greatest achievement short of family, his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2022, and he continues to practice the martial art as part of his exercise regimen.
This book is part of the Systematic Security series Timur has been working on and is the platform by which he hopes to champion sound security practices and systematic ways of instituting those practices across various institutions.
