Preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Organizations should begin assessing their cryptographic infrastructure and inventory to identify systems that will require quantum-resistant algorithm replacements. Migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) requires planning across applications, hardware, and supply chains, with standards like NIST's recently finalized PQC algorithms providing a foundation for implementation roadmaps.

Why it matters: Security practitioners need to start planning now because transitioning to PQC is a multi-year effort affecting all cryptographically dependent systems, and delay increases risk from adversaries collecting encrypted data today for decryption once quantum computers emerge.
