RESEARCH BRIEF

Quantum is the future threat. Plaintext is the present one.

Post-quantum migration isn't just a cryptography upgrade - it's a data exposure problem happening right now. This guide gives security leaders the actual sequence: what to do, in what order, before waiting on a quantum timeline costs you the migration window.

Why "harvest now, decrypt later" undersells the real risk - it's harvest now, read now

The migration sequence that matters: inventory, map, analyze, prioritize, before touching a single algorithm

What's inside

Inside the guide.

The real timeline

Why aligning your PQC plan to quantum hardware timelines is the wrong question, and what "harvest now, read now" means for data that's already exposed.

The migration sequence

The right order for PQC migration, and why AI copilots and agents make ungoverned plaintext exposure worse, not better.

Cutting through the hype

Five questions that separate real post-quantum protection from marketing, and what auditors and regulators actually expect from your PQC posture right now.
