In Part 1, we covered the basics: what post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is, how today’s encryption works, and why quantum computers are a different kind of threat. This threat is already in motion thanks to a strategy called “harvest now, decrypt later,” even before a quantum computer capable of breaking today’s encryption actually exists.
Now for the part that lit a fire under a lot of organizations that were quietly hoping this would stay someone else’s problem: a new federal executive order, where the industry actually stands today, and what your security team should be doing about it right now.
Spoiler: “wait and see” didn’t make the list.
