10 Tips For Starting Your PQC Journey Today
F5, Tuesday, December 16th, 2025
Quantum computing is on the horizon, and it's set to upend the cryptographic systems that protect our data, communications, and infrastructure. The time to start preparing is now. In this six-part blog series on post-quantum cryptography (PQC), cryptography thought leaders from across F5 will explain what's at risk, what opportunities lie ahead, and what steps your organization can take today to stay secure in a post-quantum world. The future is closer than you think. Let's get ready together.
No matter what Tom Petty sang, the waiting is not the hardest part. At least not when it comes to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness.
Getting started is clearly the hardest part. Why? Because you can't protect what you can't see, and you can't migrate what you haven't mapped. Asking security pros to mobilize for what could be one of the biggest IT threats of our lifetime can trigger anger, denial, maybe even depression, and most of all, inertia.
