Why credential protection must be a priority when migrating to post-quantum cryptography

Colleagues, a quick note for cybersecurity teams: quantum computers endanger public-key algorithms, and data intercepted today may be decrypted in the future.

- What’s known: reports and regulators (NSA, NIST) set migration timelines.
- Where risk lies: long-lived credentials and machine accounts (APIs, services) are prime for “harvest now, decrypt later.”
- My recommendations: start by inventorying secrets, adopt hybrid cryptography, and centralize key storage.

Why it matters: migration will take years—credentials must be secured now.

How will you prioritize credential protection in your organization?
