PQC Algorithms Alone Won't Secure Federal Data

Large-scale quantum computers may be years away, but the threat is already here. Adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today, banking on future decryption capabilities.

Harvest Now, Decrypt Later elevates the transition to post-quantum standards from a future concern to an immediate national security imperative.

Federal mandates from NIST around Post-Quantum Cryptography have turned quantum risk into a compliance emergency.

  • Why PQC alone isn't enough – Replacing algorithms isn't sufficient if your key exchange remains vulnerable.
  • A smarter solution – How out-of-band key delivery separates keys from data transmission, dramatically raising security barriers.
  • Why crypto-agility is essential – A static "set-it-and-forget-it" cryptographic strategy isn't viable anymore.
  • Agency benefits – Agility, auditability, and control. Integration is easier, faster, and more effective than you think with the right tools.

The Quantum Industry Coalition—including AWS, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Quantum XChange—believes agencies handling sensitive government data should already be actively preparing for this transition.

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