Why Avensus
Insight into where cryptography is used across the organisation
'Harvest now, decrypt later' is no longer a future scenario. The sooner you have mapped your cryptographic dependencies, the calmer the migration. Our specialists help you become quantum-ready step by step.

Harvest now, decrypt later
The 'harvest now, decrypt later' scenario means data intercepted today can be decrypted as soon as a sufficiently powerful quantum computer becomes available. For long-lived information such as patient records, intellectual property, government documents and financial transactions, that is not a future scenario but an acute risk that must be mitigated today.
NIST has already standardised a first set of post-quantum algorithms. We help organisations with a crypto inventory, drawing up a migration roadmap and introducing crypto agility, so algorithms can be replaced later without major rebuilding of your infrastructure.
What is crypto agility?
Crypto agility is the ability of your infrastructure to replace cryptographic algorithms, keys and protocols quickly and in a controlled way, without rebuilding applications. A crypto-agile architecture isolates cryptographic choices behind clear interfaces, so switching algorithms becomes a matter of configuration instead of a multi-year migration project.
That principle is not new, but the arrival of post-quantum cryptography suddenly makes it urgent. Standards will keep evolving over the coming years. Organisations that make their cryptography agile now can move along effortlessly.
Start with insight
A successful post-quantum migration does not start with technology but with an overview: where is cryptography used, which keys are in circulation, which applications and suppliers depend on them, and which data has a long confidentiality horizon? From that overview you can make well-founded choices about priority, pace and investment.
Avensus combines strategy, technology and operations. We map your cryptographic landscape, design a future-proof architecture and take on the operational management, so your team can focus on the business.
