Infographic titled “Is Your Data Quantum-Ready? A Roadmap to Post-Quantum Security”. The left side, labeled “The Quantum Threat to Your Data”, shows a large quantum chip and math equations illustrating that quantum computers running Shor’s algorithm will break today’s public-key encryption such as RSA. Below, a locked data vault is showered with files labeled IP and legal files, explaining that attackers are “harvesting now to decrypt later”, making long-term data vulnerable. A clock and bar chart around the year 2030 highlight a credible breach risk by 2030 and a 50% chance of compromise by 2031, based on NIST warnings. The right side, titled “Your 4-Step Roadmap to Quantum-Safe Security”, depicts a path through four milestones: (1) Inventory & prioritize cryptographic keys and systems with long-term sensitive data; (2) Adopt new post-quantum cryptography standards such as NIST-approved algorithms like CRYSTALS-Kyber and strengthen symmetric keys to AES-256; (3) Test hybrid solutions that combine classical and post-quantum algorithms; and (4) Plan a phased rollout aligned with business risk, starting with external-facing systems and high-value communication links.
