How to Sell Post-Quantum Readiness by Combining it with a Zero Trust Journey
summary
Argues that bundling post‑quantum readiness into an existing zero trust program wins board funding by tying PQC tasks to funded deliverables. Recommends starting with an inventory of cryptographic assets (automated scans find ~75% at best), adding PQC questions to supplier questionnaires, building crypto agility and a roadmap for test and migrate, and tracking scope by sampling systems (one org sent 120 questionnaires and got 10 responses) to justify multi‑year budgets and prioritize harvest‑now/decrypt‑later risk.
