White Paper

Waiting Until Quantum Attacks Materialize Means It's Already Too Late

As quantum capabilities advance, the risk of Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks grows. Critical data in motion is at immediate risk.

This SANS white paper, produced in partnership with Quantum XChange, outlines a clear, phased strategy for achieving quantum-ready security.

Gain expert insights into how to strengthen existing encryption systems today while preparing for Post-Quantum Cryptography tomorrow.

Read the paper to learn:

  • Why acting now is essential – Understand the quantum threat timeline
  • How to address encryption weaknesses – While preparing for PQC adoption
  • The power of out-of-band key delivery and Ephemeral Keyless Forward Secrecy – Protect against key compromise
  • How to build a phased, non-disruptive roadmap – To quantum-safe distribution

Out-of-band key delivery, ephemeral key management, and crypto-agility combine to deliver stronger data protection and measurable resilience—without replacing your existing infrastructure.

Get the roadmap to quantum-ready security.

The prospect of harvest-now, decrypt-later attacks is already a concern, making the post-quantum cryptography transition an urgent priority.
