With quantum computing on the horizon, organizations face a new wave of cybersecurity challenges. Within the next 5 to 10 years, quantum machines may gain the power to break widely used encryption protocols, threatening data privacy, compliance, and national security. As data theft strategies evolve to include “harvest now, decrypt later” tactics, the time to prepare for a post-quantum world is now.
To defend against emerging quantum threats, organizations must modernize their encryption practices, storage security, and key management infrastructure. Future-ready companies are embracing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), crypto-agility, and secure data lifecycle strategies. This includes upgrading hardware and software systems, implementing hybrid cryptographic models, and preparing long-term roadmaps to ensure business continuity and compliance.
In our latest Research Brief, Secure Data Infrastructure in a Post-Quantum Cryptographic World, completed in partnership with NetApp, The Futurum Group explores the evolving threat landscape, details the NIST-approved PQC standards, and outlines how businesses can prepare their data infrastructure to meet the challenges of the post-quantum era.
In this report, you will learn:
- What makes today’s cryptographic algorithms vulnerable to quantum computing
- Why “harvest now, decrypt later” threats are already targeting encrypted data
- The key industry sectors at greatest long-term risk
- How organizations can migrate to PQC while maintaining legacy compatibility
- Government mandates and global efforts driving PQC readiness
- Actionable best practices for crypto-agility and phased adoption
