Axiad survey finds 46% of enterprises lack a single leader for post-quantum cryptography migration despite most maintaining cryptographic inventories.

Axiad research on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness found 75% of respondents maintain continuously updated inventories of certificates, keys, and algorithms, but 46% have no single person owning the migration. About half have never formally assessed whether public-facing infrastructure supports post-quantum key exchange. 67% said the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat is an active priority, with competing priorities, budget constraints, and lack of regulatory guidance cited as top obstacles; executives were more confident than PKI practitioners.

Key facts
  • 46% of organizations have no single person leading PQC migration
  • 75% maintain updated inventories of certificates, keys, and algorithms
  • Half never assessed public-facing infrastructure for post-quantum key exchange
  • 67% treat harvest-now-decrypt-later as an active priority
  • Competing security priorities and budget are the top migration obstacles

Enterprises believe they are prepared for the security challenges posed by quantum computing , but gaps in ownership, testing and visibility could complicate their transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), according to new research from Axiad. Organizations need to know where certificates, cryptographic keys and algorithms are used before they can plan a PQC migration .
