Editorial Analysis
Harvest-now-decrypt-later is already a credible threat model for sensitive long-lived data; organisations that delay cryptographic inventory and migration planning face compounding remediation costs.
Launch a cryptographic asset inventory project to identify algorithms vulnerable to quantum attacks and establish a phased migration timeline.
Post-quantum migration is a multi-year programme; starting the cryptographic inventory now avoids costly catch-up when quantum threats mature.
