Preparing For Post-Quantum Cryptography Amid Emerging Risks

Despite the looming threat of quantum technology to current encryption methods, only a small percentage of organizations have a strategy in place to prepare for the potential risks. The concept of ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ poses a significant challenge, as malicious actors can steal data now and decrypt it later when quantum computational tools become available. According to a 2025 ISACA survey, only 5% of cyber professionals considered the threat a high priority, despite two-thirds being concerned about quantum’s future ability to break encryption. This was reported by csoonline.com.
