NIST Hands Off Post-Quantum Cryptography Work to Cyber Teams

This article outlines the urgency and practical guidance for transitioning to NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography (PQC), urging organizations to perform comprehensive cryptographic asset inventories, prioritize migration of high-value and long-lived secrets, establish cross-functional governance, collaborate with vendors, and begin testing PQC algorithms now to mitigate the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat posed by future quantum-capable adversaries.
