Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later
Understanding nation-state quantum exfiltration campaigns — how adversaries are storing your encrypted data today to decrypt it once quantum computers become capable.
NIST PQC Migration
Building a cryptographic migration roadmap to CRYSTALS-Kyber and Dilithium. Inventory, prioritization, vendor dependencies, and business case development.
Crypto-Agility Architecture
Designing systems that can swap cryptographic primitives without downtime — the architectural discipline that makes your organization resilient to future algorithm deprecations.
Board-Level Quantum Risk
Communicating quantum timelines and ROI to non-technical executives. Framing investment decisions, governance structures, and enterprise risk register integration.
