How to scan your codebase for post-quantum cryptographic risk

NIST has finalized its post-quantum cryptography standards, highlighting the urgency for engineering teams to identify and update vulnerable cryptographic algorithms in their codebases. This is critical due to ongoing "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks by nation-state actors, who are collecting encrypted data with plans to decrypt it using future quantum computers. Developers must inventory cryptographic libraries and configurations, focusing on TLS settings, JWT signing, and SSH keys, to mitigate risks as per NIST's migration deadlines.
