Utimaco argues that organizations must immediately assess their cryptographic replacement timelines rather than waiting for quantum computers to become operational. The core challenge lies in the disparity between long data lifetimes and the multi-year effort required to migrate legacy RSA and elliptic-curve systems to post-quantum standards. This proactive inventorying is essential to mitigate "harvest now, decrypt later" threats before NIST's new standards can be fully implemented across enterprise infrastructure.

Utimaco says quantum crypto dependency knowledge is step one

Don’t wait for a quantum computer—assess your organization’s RSA & elliptic-curve cryptography replacement time now.

Organizations with data requiring confidentiality for a decade or more are already at risk from “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, even before powerful quantum computers arrive. Utimaco, a provider of cybersecurity and compliance solutions specializing in hardware security modules, emphasizes that the critical step isn’t predicting when quantum computing will break encryption, but calculating how long it would take to replace it, the company says. “Your clock started before the quantum computer,” the company asserts, framing quantum readiness as the sum of data lifetime and cryptography replacement time, a calculation many organizations haven’t begun.…
