In August 2024, NIST published its first finalized post-quantum cryptography standards (FIPS 203, 204 and 205). They are designed to resist attacks from future quantum computers that could break today's public-key encryption.
Why act before quantum computers arrive
Data intercepted today can be stored and decrypted later. Information that must stay confidential for many years is already exposed to this harvest-now, decrypt-later risk.
Inventory first
Most enterprises do not know every place they use cryptography: applications, devices, vendor products and certificates. A cryptographic inventory is the foundation of any migration plan.
Build crypto-agility
Systems that can swap algorithms through configuration rather than rewrites make this and future transitions far cheaper. Ask vendors for their post-quantum roadmaps now.
Our cryptography and security architects help clients build the inventory and a realistic migration plan.
