Experts urge organisations to begin post quantum crypto migration

Experts interviewed by The Hacker News urge organisations to prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) now, arguing that data encrypted today must endure future quantum threats. The piece highlights Orange Cyberdefense’s Security Navigator 2026, which documents 139,373 incidents and 19,053 confirmed breaches, and frames PQC migration as a broad, organisation‑wide programme.

It lays out a step‑by‑step framework (Preparation, Diagnosis, Planning, Execution and Continuous Monitoring) and stresses the need for a dedicated migration team and vendor conversations to determine PQC readiness. The guidance Also advocates embedding hybrid cryptography and cryptographic agility to enable rapid algorithm swapping as standards evolve.

According to The Hacker News, the article stresses urgency, collaboration across industries and governance, and the practical challenges of code, organisational and ecosystem factors in a successful PQC transition.
