Abstract
Quantum computing is no longer a distant threat confined to academic whitepapers. NIST has finalized post-quantum cryptographic standards, and nation-states are actively harvesting encrypted data today for future decryption when quantum computers mature. For CISOs managing sensitive financial records, healthcare data, intellectual property and critical infrastructure communications, the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat is real and immediate. Yet most enterprises have not begun crypto-inventory, tested migration paths or assessed the timeline required to transition cryptographic systems that may take years to fully replace.
This session will cover: Building a post-quantum road map; NIST standards and global migration mandates; The quantum timeline: Separating hype from risk.
