ABSTRACT
The emergence of quantum computing poses unprecedented challenges to conventional
cryptographic systems while simultaneously offering new defensive capabilities. This article
examines how organizations must evolve their cybersecurity mentality to prepare for the quantum
era, integrating insights from cyberpsychology and artificial intelligence. Through analysis of
cognitive biases affecting quantum security readiness, psychological factors influencing
organizational adoption of post-quantum cryptography, and the role of AI in managing quantum
security complexity, a framework was developed for quantum-aware security policy. Case studies
demonstrate varying psychological responses to quantum threats across different organizational
cultures. The research reveals that effective quantum security requires not merely technological
solutions but a fundamental shift in security psychology from deterministic to probabilistic
thinking, from reactive to anticipatory postures, and from siloed to collaborative approaches. The
article concludes with recommendations for developing organizational quantum resilience that
addresses this paradigm shift's technical and psychological dimensions.
