SEC529: Quantum Security Readiness for Executives

What You Will Learn:

• Forecast the Threat: Apply structured models to estimate when Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers will break RSA and ECC - and what that timeline means for your data today.
• Quantify HNDL Exposure: Identify which encrypted assets are already at risk from Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks and prioritize accordingly.
• Inventory Without the Weeds: Use executive-level frameworks to map cryptographic dependencies across applications, infrastructure, and vendors - without drowning in technical detail.
• Navigate Compliance: Demystify NIST PQC standards, CNSA 2.0 requirements, and EU mandates to build an audit-ready migration timeline.
• Build the Roadmap: Construct a phased Quantum-Safe Migration Plan that aligns with budget cycles, business priorities, and regulatory deadlines.
• Win the Boardroom: Translate quantum risk into business terms. Walk away with the metrics, cost models, and narratives to secure executive buy-in.
