Jason Soroko, senior fellow at automated certificate lifecycle management firm Sectigo, tells CSO that sectors of the economy that are already cryptographically mature are pushing ahead with PQC projects, leaving other sectors even further behind.
“Uptake is not confined to banking, yet financial services tend to lead because they are highly regulated, risk averse, and exposed to long-lived data risks,” Soroko explains. “Many banks and payment networks have larger cryptographic inventories, established key management and compliance drivers, which push them to move earlier.”
“Other sectors with long data lifetimes and wide device estates such as government, telecom, cloud, and critical infrastructure are also active,” Soroko adds.
