What is Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)? | Preparing for the Quantum Threat

Is the quantum threat a distant future problem, or a risk to your data today? While a quantum computer capable of breaking modern encryption doesn't exist yet, attackers are already using a tactic called "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later." They are stealing and storing encrypted data today, waiting for the day a quantum computer can crack it open. Because migrating to new security protocols can take years, organizations cannot afford to wait. In this short explainer, we break down why Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is essential to protecting long-lived data, how federal agencies are preparing right now, and how you can map your journey toward PQC readiness.
