This article addresses the critical need for organizations to integrate quantum-era threat modeling into their security strategies to identify cryptographic dependencies vulnerable to future attacks. Microsoft researchers emphasize that a complete inventory must go beyond standard scanning tools to include architectural assumptions and indirect dependencies within operating systems and cloud platforms. Preparing for post-quantum cryptography requires detailed documentation of specific algorithms, protocol versions, and key management lifecycles to ensure seamless migration without major system overhauls.
Organizations Advised to Expand Threat Modeling in Preparation for Quantum - Era Attacks -- Campus Technology

Microsoft is encouraging organizations to expand threat-modeling exercises to uncover cryptographic dependencies that could leave applications and data vulnerable to future quantum computing attacks. The transition to post-quantum cryptography, or PQC, requires more than replacing a few encryption algorithms. Organizations must first determine where cryptography is used, what information it protects, and whether the underlying technology can be upgraded without major architectural changes, Microsoft researchers Michael Howard and Simone…
