2025 is Here - How to get your PQC Readiness Plan Underway
summary
2025 shifts from planning to targeted action: NIST-approved PQC is live and organizations are running crypto discovery to find unknown keys, certificates, and secrets, with DHS funding and banks (Wells Fargo) running pilots. Real deployments test code signing and firmware on un-upgradeable devices, HSM vendors add HSM support for LMS/hybrid options, and teams evaluate QKD via Project Nostradamus. Expect measurable inventory counts, tested signature sizes/perf, and documented interoperability results before wide rollouts.
