NCSC proposes its PQC transition timeline to UK Policy makers: guiding the UK to a quantum-safe future

Quantum readiness isn’t about “predicting when,” it’s about “preparing now.” In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, host Johannes Lintzen sits down with Dr. Jeremy Bradley, Principal Technical Director at the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), to explore the UK’s newly released guidance on migrating to post-quantum cryptography. Jeremy shares why the NCSC chose a pragmatic, timeline-driven approach, how organisations can manage legacy infrastructure without fear, and why PQC migration is a cybersecurity challenge, not just a cryptographic one.
