In this Threat Vector clip, Richu Channakeshava explains why cryptographic migration is slow, painful, and measured in decades — not quarters. RSA took roughly 25 years to stabilize. Post-quantum algorithms will follow a similar arc. If your data needs to stay secure for the next 5 to 20 years, you can’t wait until quantum capability arrives. Global research signals real movement toward quantum-capable computation, and the safe move is to secure your most sensitive data now and phase in broader migration over time.
