AI Summary

Quantum‑resistant cryptography poses a range of challenges for security leaders, but those overseeing IoT and operational technology (OT) environments face a particularly hard path to readiness. In sectors that must keep data confidential for many years, such as healthcare, sensitive information can travel through OT devices before it is stored or processed. A recent Forescout report shows that in healthcare, medical histories, diagnostic images, and laboratory results—data that remain sensitive long after creation—are routinely transferred between operational systems. The report highlights how these movements complicate the adoption of quantum‑resistant protections.
