Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is the next generation of encryption designed to protect data and communications from the power of future quantum computers. Traditional cryptographic methods can be broken by quantum attacks, putting long-term sensitive information at risk. PQC replaces these vulnerable algorithms with quantum-resistant cryptography that remains secure even as quantum computing continues to advance.

One of the main reasons to use PQC technology is the threat of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where encrypted data is captured today and stored with the intent to decrypt it in the future, once quantum capabilities mature. PQC eliminates this vulnerability by securing data today against rapidly evolving quantum threats, enabling long-term protection, regulatory compliance, and future-proofing across networks, devices, and communications.
