Global regulatory bodies have released finalized standards for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, setting off a multi-year migration cycle for public and private sector IT infrastructure.
Legacy Infrastructure Vulnerabilities
Existing public-key infrastructure (PKI) based on RSA and ECC protocols remains vulnerable to future quantum decryption capabilities. Organizations are urged to audit data architectures to identify critical exposures.
Implementation Timelines and Costs
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) project that complete cryptographic migration will take between three and seven years. Budget allocations for identity and access management are expected to rise significantly through 2028.
