For more than a decade, the industry has repeated the phrase, "Quantum is five years away." Yet during that same period, quantum computing capabilities have advanced steadily, investment has surged into the billions, and governments and private industry have accelerated development efforts. So what is the real timeline, and more importantly, what should enterprises be doing today? This opening session examines the current state of quantum computing, separating hype from reality.

The threat isn't waiting for a future quantum computer. It's already underway. Does the growth of “Harvest Now, Decipher Later” HNDL represent a clear and present danger? Do the systems we use today have a path forward? Who is providing new innovations and how are they recommending we migrate? This session examines the real-world implications of HNDL, identifies which cryptographic systems are most vulnerable, and explores the emerging technologies and migration strategies being recommended by security leaders.

The US government has prioritized the discovery of cryptography with the plan to replace these systems with post quantum PKI improvements. This is followed by identity management systems. Using the updated guidelines in FIPS 203, 204 and 205. This session provides a practical review of the finalized NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography standards, including FIPS 203, 204, and 205, and examines the federal mandates and timelines that are driving adoption across government agencies and critical industries.

A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could solve mathematical problems that classical computers cannot solve efficiently. The remedy that National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed to address the threat of quantum computers breaking today’s encryption is called Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Embedded in PQC is the concept of Cyber-Agility designing encryption methods that can be swapped quickly in the future. This session explores Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and the emerging concept of cryptographic agility—the ability to rapidly adapt encryption technologies as new threats and standards emerge.

Risk is often subjective based on personal attitudes rather than known facts. However, there are some objective measurements that can be made which should be used to realistically evaluate risk. Mosca's Theorem provides one of the most practical frameworks for understanding quantum risk. Simply stated: if the time required to migrate your organization to quantum-safe security exceeds the time remaining before quantum computers can compromise your encryption, then you are already behind schedule. Learn how to estimate their organization's quantum risk runway and determine whether immediate action is required to protect long-lived data assets.

Here is some good news, discovering your data’s vulnerability is easier than ever thanks to AI-powered tools. The bad news is that you may discover flaws that need to be updated. Whatever the result, the impact of quantum security threats is the decision to stay vigilant and continue to monitor and prioritize PQC security solutions.

When it comes to Y2Q there is more to do than just beefing up the Security handbook. Successfully navigating Y2Q requires participation from security teams, infrastructure leaders, compliance officers, procurement professionals, legal departments, executive leadership, and boards of directors. From the Board Room discussions of risk analysis to the Procurement RFP’s needing new compliance language, the system needs an overhaul Join us for this interactive workshop where you will learn from enterprise leaders who are actively building quantum readiness programs.

This session looks at how AI can be used to accelerate the migration and implementation of PQC solutions. How does adding AI into cyber-security enable better decision making and keeps monitoring for vulnerabilities?Join us as we explore how AI-powered discovery and automation tools are helping organizations identify cryptographic vulnerabilities, prioritize migration efforts, assess risk, and continuously monitor their environments for emerging threats.

The uncomfortable reality is that sensitive data may already be leaving your organization. What can we do to block the collection and storage of our encrypted data? Is the solution to simply hurry up and implement PQC or are there measures that can prevent copies of our data being gathered and stored? This session explores practical strategies for reducing HNDL exposure.

Healthcare faces one of the most difficult quantum challenges of any industry. Patient records often require confidentiality for decades, while quantum technologies simultaneously promise revolutionary advances in diagnostics, pharmaceutical research, medical imaging, and precision medicine. This session examines how healthcare organizations are preparing for Y2Q while balancing regulatory requirements, patient privacy obligations, operational realities, and emerging opportunities created by quantum innovation.

The retail and eCommerce ecosystem depends on trusted digital interactions. Payment systems, customer identities, loyalty programs, open banking initiatives, digital wallets, mobile driver's licenses (mDLs), and electronic identity frameworks all rely on cryptographic foundations that will eventually need modernization. Industry leaders discuss how the retail ecosystem is preparing for quantum-safe authentication, authorization, and transaction security while maintaining seamless customer experiences.

This session explores how banks, payment processors, exchanges, insurers, and capital markets firms are approaching post-quantum migration. Learn how regulatory expectations are evolving, what compliance requirements are emerging, and why leading financial institutions are increasingly treating Y2Q as a governance and compliance challenge rather than simply a technology initiative.

Telecommunications networks. Transportation systems. Defense infrastructure. Government records. Public services. These systems underpin modern society and often operate on technology lifecycles measured in decades. At the same time, they contain some of the most valuable data targeted by Harvest Now, Decrypt Later campaigns. This session explores how critical infrastructure operators and government agencies are developing long-term strategies to ensure continuity and trust in a post-quantum world.
