Shift from awareness → execution: Newer guidance (2025–2026), especially from ISACA and Europol, moves beyond education into time-bound migration planning and prioritization.
Emergence of real mandates: What was mostly advisory is now enforceable in places—National Security Agency / U.S. Department of Defense (CNSA 2.0) and PCI Security Standards Council v4.0 introduce explicit or quasi-mandatory crypto agility and PQC readiness requirements.
“Harvest now, decrypt later” risk is now central: Recent reports emphasize immediate action due to adversaries collecting encrypted data today for future decryption—this risk framing is newly elevated and driving urgency.
Standardization of hybrid approaches: With Internet Engineering Task Force RFC 9794 and sector guidance (GSMA, FS-ISAC), hybrid cryptography (classical + PQC) is now the default transition model, not experimental.
Operational focus on inventory + vendors: Across all sectors, there’s convergence on four required actions: - 1) cryptographic asset discovery - 2) vendor/supply chain readiness - 3) crypto-agility architecture - 4) phased migration plans before ~2030
