As quantum computing continues to advance, its ability to compromise widely used cryptographic systems projects a significant challenge to modern cybersecurity. This paper outlines a strategic roadmap for industries to anticipate and mitigate the risks posed by quantum attacks. Our study explores the development of a quantum-resistant cryptographic solutioning framework for the industry, offering a practical and strategic approach to mitigating quantum attacks. We, here, propose a novel strategic framework, coined name STL-QCRYPTO, outlines tailored, industry-specific methodologies to implement quantum-safe security systems, ensuring long-term protection against the disruptive potential of quantum computing. The following fourteen high-risk sectors: Financial Services, Banking, Healthcare, Critical Infrastructure, Government & Defence, E-commerce, Energy & Utilities, Automotive & Transportation, Cloud Computing & Data Storage, Insurance, Internet & Telecommunications, Blockchain Applications, Metaverse Applications, and Multiagent AI Systems - are critically assessed for their vulnerability to quantum threats. The evaluation emphasizes practical approaches for the deployment of quantum-safe security systems to safeguard these industries against emerging quantum-enabled cyber risks. Additionally, the paper addresses the technical, operational, and regulatory hurdles associated with adopting quantum-resistant technologies. By presenting a structured timeline and actionable recommendations, this roadmap with proposed framework prepares industries with the essential strategy to safeguard their potential security threats in the quantum computing era.
