The Senate recently introduced bipartisan legislation that could accelerate the nation’s migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Known as the National Quantum Cybersecurity Strategy Act, the bill reflects growing federal urgency to prepare for the cybersecurity risks posed by quantum computing and highlights a critical reality: today’s stolen data won’t stay secure forever.

For public sector agencies, this legislation represents both a pressing challenge and a strategic opportunity. Attendees joined Harvey Morrison, CEO of Marion Square, for an in-depth discussion on how this strategy could reshape federal cybersecurity requirements — and what steps you can take now to prepare.

Topics of discussion included:

• Key provisions of the proposed legislation and their implications
• The four-stage PQC migration framework outlined in the bill
• An overview of what to expect as the government coordinates a nationwide PQC migration
• Practical steps you can take today to assess cryptographic risk and readiness
