As large-scale quantum computing inches ever closer, the urgency to protect our digital assets now from future threats is growing. Around the world, organizations of all kinds are being strongly encouraged to start preparing for quantum-capable adversaries. And for several very good reasons. If you’re familiar with the quantum-threat to cryptography, you’ve likely heard that current encryption algorithms are vulnerable to quantum computing attacks. You may have come across discussions about post-quantum cryptography standards. And perhaps you’ve heard that today’s encrypted data could be at risk from tomorrow’s quantum-enabled attackers.

Given the enormity of an organization’s quantum-safe migration, it makes good sense for them to do as much planning and preparation as possible ahead of time. Tremendous benefits can be realized by doing…
