Insider Brief
- The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition has released a migration roadmap to help organizations prepare for security threats posed by quantum computing.
- The roadmap outlines practical steps for identifying vulnerabilities, planning quantum-safe transitions, and continuously evaluating cryptographic defenses.
- Built on NIST standards and member insights, the guide supports CIOs and CISOs in tailoring migration strategies to their specific risk profiles and operational needs.
PRESS RELEASE — The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) released its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Migration Roadmap to assist organizations of all sizes in navigating the complexities of transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography.
“As quantum computing technology continues to advance, organizations cannot afford to delay preparing for these transformative changes and threats to their security,” said Wen Masters, vice president of cyber technologies, MITRE. “This roadmap empowers CIOs (chief information officers) and CISOs (chief information security officers) to act decisively, taking proactive steps to protect sensitive data now and in the future.”
Key features of the PQC Migration Roadmap include:
- Preparation: Learn how to identify relevant stakeholders, assess vulnerabilities, and align organizational goals with migration timelines.
- Baseline Understanding: Develop an inventory of cryptographic assets and prioritize critical resources.
- Planning and Execution: Acquire or develop quantum-safe solutions and implement them with precision.
- Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish robust tracking measures and continuously assess cryptographic security as quantum threats evolve.
Building on the National Institute of Standards and Technology PQC standards and the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence PQC migration project, the coalition’s roadmap allows organizations to quickly and easily tailor a PQC Roadmap for their own needs based on the shared experiences of the PQCC members.
“I’m overjoyed to see the coalition come together to create this roadmap that anyone can use to accelerate their own PQC migration,” said Matt Mickelson, lead coordinator of the PQC Coalition and senior cyber principal for science and technology, MITRE.
Download the PQC Migration Roadmap to gain insights into how your organization can prepare for the future of quantum-safe security. For more updates, visit PQCC.org to see the state of the migration on the PQC heatmap, and look for a tailorable PQC inventory workbook tool to be released soon.
