Signal Post-quantum cryptography preparation trails the threat window

Summary

Preparation for post-quantum cryptography is falling behind the time available before quantum computers threaten current encryption. Only 9% of technology leaders report having a roadmap for moving to post-quantum cryptography. Quantum computing is expected to put existing encryption at risk within three to five years. Yet companies take an average of three to four years simply to go from awareness of the problem to a strategic roadmap, before any migration begins. The gap implies that many organisations could still be at the planning stage when the threat window opens.
