This white paper explores how quantum computing threatens today’s cryptographic foundations and why organizations must begin preparing now. It explains how quantum algorithms could break widely used public-key cryptography, putting identities, credentials, and encrypted data at risk. The document emphasizes the urgency of achieving cryptographic visibility across users, machines, applications, and APIs to assess exposure. It outlines key steps toward post-quantum readiness, including inventorying cryptographic assets, decoupling cryptography from applications, automating credential rotation, and adopting crypto-agile platforms. The paper positions identity security as central to post-quantum resilience, enabling organizations to transition safely without disrupting operations or compliance
