Meet Your Cross Functional Q-Day Team

Quantum security requirements will hit organizations in places you did and didn’t expect — from the security team looking to upgrade its PKI to the development team making sure upcoming releases are quantum safe to the infrastructure team looking at hardware refreshes and legacy IoT devices. Organizations must mobilize across security, infrastructure, development, innovation, risk, and procurement to ensure their systems, data, and customer commitments remain secure in a post quantum world.In this fireside chat, we break down what Q day readiness truly requires, why timelines are shrinking, and how technology leaders can coordinate an effective, enterprisewide migration strategy. Whether you're leading security, infrastructure, product development, or risk governance, this session will help you chart a path toward quantum safe resilience.Key takeaways: Understand why quantum security timelines have accelerated — and what NIST’s deprecation deadlines mean for your organization.Learn the essential roles of your cross‑functional Q‑day team and how to coordinate enterprisewide cryptographic discovery and migration.Gain actionable guidance on preparing infrastructure, identity systems, third‑party ecosystems, and development pipelines for post‑quantum cryptography.Target audience level: beginner
