Quantum computing is quickly moving from theory to reality, and with it comes a serious cybersecurity turning point. Modern encryption methods that protect everything from HTTPS to VPNs will be vulnerable to future quantum-powered attacks, creating urgency for agencies to inventory and migrate their cryptographic systems. The U.S. government has already mandated a transition to post-quantum cryptography, and federal timelines are in motion, including requirements to begin testing and prioritizing systems now. This resource outlines how agencies can prepare, mitigate emerging threats like “harvest-now, decrypt-later” attacks, and build a phased roadmap toward quantum-safe security.
