Post-quantum cryptography is no longer a research-only topic. With NIST's first PQC standards finalized and organizations facing long-term risks such as harvest-now, decrypt-later, cyber teams need to understand how PQC affects PKI, TLS, code signing, firmware trust, crypto agility, and migration planning. This guide explains what PQC is, where QKD fits, how hybrid deployments work, and what defenders should prioritize first.
