Talk Description
Quantum computers are poised to break today’s “uncrackable” encryption in minutes, putting sensitive data at risk. Nation states and cybercriminals are already harvesting encrypted traffic to unlock later when quantum power becomes mainstream. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and cryptographic agility are the keys to staying ahead. This session will demystify PQC, explain what it takes to prepare, and highlight how forward-thinking organizations are already securing the post- quantum future.
