Readiness and Migration
Navigation base page for the 'Readiness and Migration' section.
Section Overview
What is this section about?
Practical steps for organizations to assess their post-quantum readiness, discover crypto, and build a CBOM.
Why it matters
Provides foundational context necessary for understanding the next critical steps in the quantum transition.
Recommended Reading Order
What is a PQC Readiness Assessment?
3-5 minutes · pragmaticLearn what a PQC readiness assessment is, what it should include, and how it turns quantum uncertainty into a practical migration roadmap.
What is Crypto Discovery?
3-5 minutes · pragmaticLearn what crypto discovery is, why one scanner is not enough, and how organisations find cryptography across systems, traffic, certificates, code, cloud, and vendors.
What is a Cryptographic Inventory?
3-5 minutes · pragmaticLearn what a cryptographic inventory is, how it differs from crypto discovery and CBOM, and why it matters for post-quantum readiness.
What is a CBOM?
3-5 minutes · pragmaticLearn about the Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM), the machine-readable standard for cryptographic asset management.
CBOM vs SBOM: What is the Difference?
3-5 minutes · pragmaticLearn how CBOM relates to SBOM, why software inventory does not automatically show cryptographic exposure, and how both can support post-quantum readiness.
What is Crypto-Agility?
3-5 minutes · pragmaticLearn what crypto-agility means, why hardcoded cryptography creates migration risk, and how crypto-agile systems support post-quantum readiness.
