October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—time to address the quantum threat reshaping digital security. The U.S. mandates post-quantum cryptography readiness by 2035, but cybercriminals are harvesting now to decrypt later. Encrypted data is being stolen today for future quantum decryption. The threat isn’t in the future, it’s now and we can’t wait 10 years to start protecting this data. The challenge goes beyond upgrading algorithms. Our latest newsletter explores why successful transition to data protection today and compliance tomorrow requires crypto-agility in system architecture, an understanding of compliance deadlines, plus how semiconductor innovations can help in deploying quantum-resistant security in embedded systems and more. Learn how to flexibly transition from legacy to future quantum-resistant or post-quantum (PQ) encryption. ⏰ The quantum clock is ticking. Will you be ready?
