At RSA Conference 2026, the conversation around post-quantum cryptography has clearly shifted. The “why” is no longer the challenge. Organizations understand the risk and the real struggle now lies in execution. In this episode, Aisling Dawson of ABI Research and Itan Barmes of Qiz Security unpack what’s slowing progress. From fragmented cryptographic inventories to unclear ownership and budget constraints, the barriers are as much organizational as they are technical. They explore why chasing a perfect inventory can stall action, why ecosystem coordination is the hardest problem to solve, and how regulation, vendor readiness, and internal alignment all play a role. The takeaway is: start small, focus on what matters, and build momentum. Quantum migration isn’t a one-time project. It’s a long-term shift in how organizations approach security.
