Quantum Signals for Identity Leaders
For identity, quantum risk shows up in two timelines:
- Near-term: crypto-agility, telemetry of where sensitive keys live, and upgrade plans.
- Mid-term: post-quantum migration for protocols (TLS, SSH), hardware modules, and vendor chains.
The leaders who win treat this as program management for cryptography, with inventory, dependency mapping, and staged cutovers that minimize business friction.
