Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) - Readiness and adoption strategy

Quantum computing is accelerating faster than expected, and organisations now face a strategic imperative: Prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) before “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks turn today’s secure data into tomorrow’s exposure.

This session will aim demystifying PQC and provides a clear, practical pathway for IT and cyber professionals to build a transition strategy aligned with best practices and NIST and ACSC guidance. In this event we will understand the real-world impact of quantum threats, assess organisational cryptographic exposure, and design a crypto-agile architecture that supports a smooth PQC migration. We will gain insights into the readiness of major cloud providers – Microsoft, AWS and Google – and what their evolving roadmap mean for enterprise planning, procurement and long-term resilience.

We will consider actionable takeaways from the session, including how to build a cryptographic inventory, prioritise long-life data risks, evaluate hybrid-mode options, and engage vendors effectively. Whether you are shaping strategy, modernising architecture, or uplifting cyber capability, this session will equip you with the clarity and confidence to lead your organisation’s PQC journey.

Light catering and drinks will be provided 

Who should attend? Current members, students, and professionals

What to expect:

Discover how to create a state of post quantum readiness, create a cryptographic inventory, prioritise long‑life data risks, and prepare for a smooth PQC transition aligned with NIST and ACSC best practice.

We’ll also explore the quantum‑readiness of major cloud providers such as Microsoft, AWS and Google and what their evolving roadmaps mean for enterprise strategy and long‑term resilience.

Whether you’re shaping security strategy, uplifting capability, or modernising architecture, you’ll leave with actionable steps and the confidence to guide your organisation on its PQC journey.
