The cost of transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) increases significantly as organizations postpone planning, resulting in tighter implementation timelines and greater complexity. Legacy infrastructure, embedded systems, and vendor dependencies are key drivers of this complexity, making it essential for organizations to start planning early. As governments and major technology companies aim to complete their PQC migration by the late 2020s, the urgency to plan and implement PQC migration grows. The progression of quantum computing research has made PQC migration a necessity, with cost being a crucial factor that rises as timelines compress1. This increased cost is a direct result of delayed planning, making it essential for organizations to prioritize PQC migration to avoid significant financial burdens. The financial impact of delaying PQC migration matters to practitioners as it can lead to substantial costs and potential security risks if not addressed promptly.
