Nearly half of enterprises have no one leading PQC migration
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.

G7 urges organizations to prepare for quantum cyber threats
G7 Cyber Security Working Group and CISA jointly urge organizations to begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography now, citing harvest-now-decrypt-later risk.
In a joint advisory, the G7 Cyber Security Working Group and CISA recommend starting post-quantum cryptography migration immediately rather than waiting for quantum computers to break current encryption. They warn attackers can already harvest encrypted data for later decryption, threatening long-lived secrets such as government records and trade secrets. Organizations are told to inventory sensitive systems, prioritize them, and fold quantum-resistant upgrades into routine refresh cycles. The advisory follows a UK 2035 PQC roadmap and recent US executive orders on quantum preparedness.
