OT Environments Struggle with Post-Quantum Cryptographic Readiness

Regulators are requiring operational technology (OT) asset owners to attest to their post-quantum cryptographic readiness, despite a lack of available tools to support such assessments. The absence of appropriate tooling has led to superficial compliance efforts, where documentation is produced to appear secure without addressing actual cryptographic vulnerabilities. The issue specifically affects OT environments, which are critical infrastructure systems. No specific technical details, dates, or CVE IDs were mentioned in the report. The primary impact is the creation of false security assurances due to inadequate readiness measures.
