BEFORE PUBLISH:
- THUMBNAIL is a placeholder filename in .pkvg-cover-img. Replace the
src with the hosted WP media URL after uploading the cover image.
- FORM is now the live Formidable shortcode
. CONFIRM
whether this page should reuse form 62 or a NEW form. If new, change
the shortcode ID AND every field_bc_*62 hidden-field ID in the
attribution script to match, or attribution silently no-ops.
- REVEAL iframe still points at the PQC solution brief
(info.pkware.com/pkware-pqc-solution-brief). For this page the
?clsid=true reveal should likely point at the Gartner reprint asset.
Displaying the licensed reprint directly via the reveal touches the
Gartner reprint license — clear with Content Compliance / Jeff.
- GARTNER COMPLIANCE: submit to Content Compliance before external publish;
the disclaimer text below is the required language (keep verbatim); confirm
the citation against the reprint license; report is described, never quoted.
- SECONDARY CTA -> /solutions/quantum-encryption. Confirm the three-bucket
rewrite is deployed there.

A Journey Guide to Postquantum Readiness, 13 March 2026, By Sarah Almond, Mark Horvath
Why now
The deadline math nobody likes to do Here's the part that doesn't make headlines. An attacker doesn't need a working quantum computer to hurt you today. They need a copy of your encrypted data and the patience to wait for the hardware. Capture it now, store it, decrypt it later. The data most at risk is the data you encrypted years ago and stopped thinking about.
NIST finalized the first three postquantum standards in August 2024. The migration runs for years. So the question isn't whether you have time. It's whether you know where to start.
The compliance clock
Aug 2024 NIST finalized the first three postquantum standards: FIPS 203, 204, and 205.Jan 2027 CNSA 2.0 takes effect: new national security systems must support postquantum cryptography.2035 Full CNSA 2.0 transition required.
What's inside A map worth having before you spend a dollar The Gartner Report: A Journey Guide to Postquantum Readiness, by Sarah Almond and Mark Horvath, is a practical roadmap for postquantum readiness, from understanding the threat through scaling the response across an organization. If you own a postquantum program, or you're about to, it's the analyst's-eye view of what's ahead.
Where to start Start where the risk is, not where the project is Most postquantum programs stall for the same reason. They read as a five-year cost with nothing to show this quarter. It doesn't have to go that way.
01
Find it Where sensitive data and aging encryption actually live, across endpoint, cloud, and mainframe.
02
Rank it The long-lived data and buried uses that are the real harvest-now, decrypt-later targets.
03
Protect it The top of that list, now, with evidence you can take to the board this quarter.
That's the work PKWARE does, and it's the difference between a line item that gets cut and a win that gets funded.
Get the map. The exposure is already real.
