A historic $2B infrastructure shift has collapsed the quantum timeline. Get a practical roadmap to protect your data today.
About this Event

The security baseline is shifting fast. A $2B U.S. quantum infrastructure investment on May 21 made one thing clear: quantum-safe readiness is moving from future planning to executive priority.

Canada is already moving in the same direction, with federal guidance laying out a roadmap to migrate government systems to post-quantum cryptography (PQC).

For organizations in BC, the question is no longer whether quantum-safe security matters. It is whether you know where your cryptography lives, what is at risk, and how to start migrating before the definition of “reasonable security” moves ahead of you.

Join us for an exclusive session tailored for BC business and technology leaders. We will reveal the reality behind these massive new developments, cut through the noise, and provide a clear, phased approach to implement quantum-safe security without disrupting your current operations.
