Outpacing the Quantum Threat: The Urgent Case for Scaled Post-Quantum Migration

Post-quantum cryptography standards have been finalized by NIST, yet most organizations remain unprepared for migration despite the imminent quantum computing threat. Adversaries are already harvesting encrypted data today through Harvest-Now, Decrypt-Later attacks, meaning current encryption could become vulnerable within years. The migration window is narrower than widely perceived, and those most exposed—financial institutions, government contractors, and critical infrastructure operators—are the least equipped to move quickly.
