Quantum computing is no longer a distant research topic, Infact it is an emerging business risk. Advances in quantum algorithms threaten to break the public key cryptography that secures today’s internet, from TLS and VPNs to digital signatures, identity systems, and software supply chains. The result is not just a future problem because adversaries are already using “harvest now, decrypt later” tactics, capturing encrypted data today to exploit once quantum capabilities mature.This session translates quantum risk into practical security action. Rather than focusing on physics or theory, we examine what quantum disruption means for real world enterprise environments and web applications. Attendees will learn how quantum threats impact authentication, PKI, APIs, certificates, code signing, and compliance obligations and why crypto agility is now a critical security capability.
Key Takeaways
A plain-language understanding of quantum threats without needing a physics background
A checklist to assess quantum exposure in their own organization
A starter framework for crypto inventory and risk classification
Practical guidance on where and how to pilot PQC today
Migration patterns for TLS, PKI, authentication, and application security
