A serious cyber incident does not need to begin on an organization’s core network to interrupt its operations.

The 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat — where adversaries collect encrypted data today to decrypt it once quantum computing matures — means organizations that delay post-quantum cryptography transition are already accumulating risk. Critical infrastructure operators relying on interconnected third-party services face compounded exposure when any single supplier is compromised. Regional collaboration and structured incident recovery planning are essential, as smaller nations often lack the standalone capacity to respond effectively to sophisticated attacks. Beginning cryptographic agility planning now, before quantum threats fully materialize, is a matter of strategic necessity rather than optional preparation.",[64,65,66,67,68,69,70],"NIST SP 800-53 SI-2: Flaw Remediation","NIS2 Article 21(2)(b)","ISO\u002FIEC 27001:2022 A.8.8: Management of technical vulnerabilities","DORA Article 9","CIS Control 17: Incident Response Management","NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AA: Identity Management, Authentication, and Access Control","GDPR Article 32",{"DORA Article 9":72,"GDPR Article 32":73,"NIS2 Article 21(2)(b)":74,"NIST SP 800-53 SI-2: Flaw Remediation":75,"CIS Control 17: Incident Response Management":76,"ISO\u002FIEC 27001:2022 A.8.8: Management of technical vulnerabilities":77,"NIST CSF 2.0 PR.AA: Identity Management, Authentication, and Access Control":78},"DORA's requirements for ICT third-party risk management directly apply to critical service dependencies highlighted at the summit, mandating that financial entities assess and manage risks from their supply chains.","The 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat means personal data encrypted today may be exposed in the future, making adoption of appropriate state-of-the-art cryptographic measures a current GDPR obligation, not a future one.","NIS2 explicitly mandates incident handling and supply chain security measures for operators of essential services, directly addressing the summit's focus on critical service dependencies across the Western Balkans.","Transitioning to post-quantum cryptography is itself a form of proactive flaw remediation — addressing known algorithmic weaknesses before adversaries can exploit harvested ciphertext at scale.","The summit's emphasis on incident recovery underscores the need for tested, structured IR plans — CIS Control 17 requires organizations to establish and exercise response capabilities before a crisis occurs.","Cryptographic vulnerabilities posed by quantum computing represent a class of technical vulnerability that organizations must track and remediate on a planned timeline, as required by this control.","Post-quantum cryptography transition directly affects authentication protocols and key management; ensuring cryptographic agility is built into identity systems protects access control from future quantum-enabled attacks."]
