Quantum’s silent countdown: Why today’s cryptographic protections won’t survive the 2030s

Quantum computing, once considered a distant idea, poses a significant threat to global cybersecurity. With global investments in R&D exceeding $20 B and rapid advancements shortening timelines, the encryption methods that safeguard businesses and critical infrastructure could become obsolete in just a few years rather than in several decades.
This session cuts through the hype for actionable analysis:
Quantum Threat Decoded- Understand how quantum computing functions and how it will challenge today's encryption.
Global Wake-Up Calls- Highlight government and corporate efforts to reduce the risks associated with quantum technology.
Path to Quantum Readiness- Learn strategies to adopt quantum-resistant encryption and embed cryptographic agility into organizational culture.
Tailored for professionals and leaders, this session balances technical depth with strategic relevance, providing a roadmap to mitigate risk and lead in the quantum era. Don’t wait for the breach; prepare to act.
