About this tag
Cryptographic agility on WindowsForum.com centers on preparing IT systems for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) mandates. Recent discussions highlight the OMB M-26-15 memo and Executive Order 14412, which require federal agencies to submit PQC migration plans by October 22. This shifts quantum-resistant cryptography from a future architecture concern to a near-term vendor requirement for software makers, cloud providers, and IT administrators. The tag covers practical implications for Windows environments, including the need to demonstrate quantum-resistant capabilities rather than just advertise them. Topics include federal procurement deadlines, CISA guidance, and the broader push for cryptographic agility in enterprise IT and security planning.

    OMB M-26-15 Requires Federal PQC Plans by October 22

    Federal procurement is beginning to turn post-quantum cryptography from a long-range architecture project into a near-term vendor requirement. Federal News Network reported this week that CISA quantum-security lead Patrick Manley expects a “louder drumbeat” for products that can demonstrate...
