A Federal Roadmap to Post-Quantum Readiness

 

Is Your Agency Ready for the Quantum-Safe Deadline?

The federal government’s transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is no longer a future initiative, it’s underway with agencies working toward critical 2030 and 2031 deadlines. The challenge now is moving from mandate to execution: identifying cryptographic vulnerabilities, prioritizing high-value systems, managing remediation, and building a sustainable path to crypto-agility.

Download this whitepaper to explore a practical, scalable approach to PQC migration based on the Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) Migration Roadmap and industry best practices. Learn how IBM and its ecosystem of technologies can help federal agencies move from discovery and prioritization to remediation, application modernization, key management, and program governance, all while working within real-world budget and resource constraints.

Inside, discover how to build a coordinated PQC strategy that treats migration not as a one-time technology replacement, but as a governed, continuous program designed to protect critical systems today and prepare your agency for what comes next.
