Post-Quantum Readiness and Q-Day Risk
This TNCR Executive Research poll was shaped by input from TNCR Research Contributors Charles Burton and Rafael Pimentel Pinto, who raised concerns about quantum preparedness, Q-Day, and the risk that sensitive data captured today could be decrypted in the future.
As post-quantum cryptography moves from theory to planning, technology and security leaders face a practical question: how prepared is the organization for a future where current encryption methods may no longer be sufficient?
This poll seeks input from CIOs, CISOs, and senior technology leaders on cryptographic inventory, data exposure, ownership, migration planning, and vendor readiness.
Research Questions
- 1. How is your organization currently engaging key vendors on post-quantum readiness?
- 2. What is the biggest barrier to post-quantum readiness in your organization?
- 3. What practical advice would you give another technology or security leader beginning to prepare for Q-Day and post-quantum risk? — Please provide as much detail as possible for attribution.
- 4. May we attribute your response to you when sharing these insights in an article or research summary?
- 5. Has your organization completed an inventory of systems, applications, and data flows that rely on public-key cryptography?
- 6. Has your organization classified data by cryptographic shelf life to identify what may be exposed to “harvest now, decrypt later” risk?
- 7. Who currently owns Q-Day or post-quantum readiness in your organization?
- 8. When does your organization expect to begin migrating production systems to post-quantum cryptography?
