A cybersecurity expert highlights two urgent threats: the accelerating timeline for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and the immediate risk of data exposure in current systems. While the PQC transition is being pushed forward by advancements in quantum computing, the author argues that many organizations overlook the more pressing danger of "harvest now, read now," where sensitive data is already accessible in plaintext within applications, databases, and AI workflows. This immediate vulnerability means attackers or insiders can access and exploit data without needing future cryptographic breakthroughs. AI
