What You’ll Hear.


Quantum computing is advancing—and with it, the need to rethink how we protect sensitive data. While the timeline for quantum decryption capabilities remains uncertain, the risk of “steal now, decrypt later” attacks is already shaping how forward-thinking organizations approach cryptographic resilience. In this practical, insight-driven session, Hitachi's cybersecurity experts will walk through what quantum risk means for your organization and how to begin the transition to quantum-resistant cryptography with confidence. Key takeaways: - Understanding Quantum Risk: What quantum computing means for current encryption standards—and why it’s time to start planning. - Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (QRC): A clear overview of NIST’s selected algorithms and how to evaluate them for your environment. - Inventory & Audit Essentials: How to assess your cryptographic footprint, identify vulnerable systems, and prioritize upgrades. - Transition Planning Across IT and Security: Practical guidance for aligning teams, evaluating vendors, and building a roadmap toward quantum-safe infrastructure.
