The Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography
May 16 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
About this Event
This session aims to illuminate the urgent necessity for organizations to pivot towards post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in response to the rapid advancements in quantum computing. Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the present threats quantum computing presents, alongside a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in PQC standards and regulatory requirements.
The discussion will extend beyond Transport Layer Security (TLS)-based systems, highlighting the extensive impact on a wide array of technologies that depend on cryptography. The session will introduce a framework for conducting cryptographic risk assessments, encompassing infrastructure, code, and third-party vendors. Emphasis will be placed on the imperative to establish a PQC transition program, ensuring organizations are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of this critical cybersecurity evolution.
Key Take-Aways
- Educate Your Organization on PQC: Become an internal champion for post-quantum cryptography by sharing critical insights and the session’s key points with your teams, fostering awareness and preparedness for the impending quantum computing era.
- Conduct Cryptographic Risk Assessments: Implement the session’s framework for evaluating your infrastructure, software, and vendor dependencies for quantum vulnerabilities, ensuring an end-to-end understanding of your PQC transition requirements.
- Initiate a PQC Transition Plan: Leverage insights from the session to kickstart your organization’s shift towards post-quantum cryptography, prioritizing areas of highest risk and regulatory focus.
