Post-quantum cryptography in NXLog Agent: Post-quantum readiness for Q-Day
You have probably seen the term "post-quantum cryptography" enough times to glaze over it. The headlines tend to focus on a vague future event: a quantum computer somewhere will eventually break RSA, and at that point you should have moved on. That framing makes it easy to file PQC under "worry about it in 2030." The framing is wrong.
The actual threat is happening now, and it has a name: harvest now, decrypt later.

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Update Takeaways
On February 26, 2024, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) officially released Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. This release has had the most significant changes since its inception in 2014. Let’s quickly walk through the updates it brought and how log collection supports the functions of the renewed framework.
What is NIST CSF The U.S. NIST Cybersecurity Framework is one of the most widely used security frameworks (with ISO27001, CIS, and others), helping organizations estimate, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risks.

Assertive compliance - using frameworks to extend your coverage
So, it happened again. You got an internal audit finding or a regulatory notice. Or you just had a nagging feeling and found customer data somewhere it shouldn’t have been. Morale sinks. Are you forced to choose between serving your customers and addressing compliance weaknesses? Nobody said IT Compliance was easy. But don’t sign up to do any more work than is necessary. Use Frameworks to identify the activities, like logging, that demonstrate compliance for multiple domains and get the absolute best coverage without extra work.
