Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC): Protecting Systems in the Quantum Era (2026 BEYA)

This course provides an executive overview of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), emphasizing the vulnerabilities in current cryptographic systems and the urgency of adopting quantum-safe practices. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of PQC and its critical role in national cybersecurity. The course will cover the identification of areas where current cryptographic systems are most vulnerable to quantum attacks, highlighting the potential risks and consequences. Additionally, participants will develop actionable steps for transitioning to quantum-safe environments, ensuring that their organizations are prepared for the quantum era.

At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:

- Define PQC and its role in national cybersecurity.

- Identify where cryptographic systems are most vulnerable.

- Develop action steps for transitioning to quantum-safe environments.
