Why Post-Quantum Cryptography Starts With Credentials

This article explains the emerging risk that quantum computers pose to public-key cryptography—particularly how attackers can harvest encrypted credentials today to decrypt later—and urges organizations to begin a credentials-first migration by inventorying secrets, prioritizing long-lived/high-risk credentials (especially non-human identities), adopting hybrid quantum-resistant algorithms, and building crypto-agility to meet government Q-day timelines.
