Post-Quantum Cryptography moves from “later” to “now”: What ASD’s new Cyber Threat Report means for Australian organisations

A cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) could break today’s widely used public-key cryptography (e.g., RSA and ECC). That creates “harvest-now, decrypt-later” risk for data with a long confidentiality shelf life (health, finance, IP, national security). ASD’s updated guidance frames PQC as the best path to protect networks and data in a quantum future, and signals a shift from awareness to action.
