Post-Quantum Cryptography in Corporate Data Protection
Keywords:
Post-Quantum Cryptography, corporate data protection, cryptographic agility, quantum computing, cybersecurity complianceAbstract
The rapid advancement of quantum computing poses a significant threat to classical cryptographic methods such as RSA and ECC, which underpin corporate data protection strategies worldwide. This research investigates the adoption and implications of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) in corporate environments through doctrinal analysis of regulatory standards (NIST FIPS 203–205, NSA CNSA 2.0) and non-doctrinal insights from industry surveys and market reports. Despite growing awareness—69% of corporations recognize quantum threats—only 5% have implemented PQC solutions. The paper presents empirical data illustrating global market trends (projected CAGR ~37%) and evaluates sectoral preparedness, particularly within finance and government. Case studies from companies like Commvault, Apple, and NXP demonstrate early adoption, while challenges remain around integration complexity, cryptographic agility, and regulatory lag. The findings emphasize the urgency of a proactive shift towards hybrid encryption models, procurement reforms, and sector-specific PQC readiness frameworks. This research concludes that strategic, agile adoption of PQC is critical to safeguarding long-term corporate data confidentiality in the approaching quantum era.
