SUMMARY:Quantum Security Awareness for Practitioners - Free Technical Webcast
DESCRIPTION:A free technical briefing co-hosted by SANS Institute and Applied Quantum. Go beyond “quantum breaks RSA” and get the practitioner’s view: what changes in your TLS\, PKI\, VPN\, identity\, and software supply chain – and how to start testing and implementing without breaking production. \n\nAbout This Event\nThis complimentary webcast is designed for security architects\, engineers\, and cyber defenders who need a practical\, no-hype understanding of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum security and what it means for real systems. Co-hosted by SANS Institute and Applied Quantum. \nWe’ll keep the introduction short – just enough to align on the threat model and the standards landscape – then we’ll go deeper into the parts that usually get skipped: \n\nWhere PQC actually lands in modern enterprises (protocols\, libraries\, certificates\, HSMs\, third-party platforms)\nWhy the migration is bigger than an algorithm swap\nWhat breaks first (often: performance assumptions\, interoperability\, certificate and handshake sizes\, network edge constraints)\nHow to get traction fast using inventory + prioritization + crypto-agility patterns\n\nFormat: Free live webcastDuration: 2.5 hours (includes Q&A)Level: Awareness-first\, but architect / implementer-orientedCost: Free \n\nWhat You Will Learn\nBy the end of this session\, technical teams will be able to: \n\nExplain the quantum threat in engineering terms (confidentiality and integrity impacts\, including “harvest now\, decrypt later” and long-lived trust risks (” trust now\, forge later”).\nDescribe what NIST has standardized so far – and what that implies for deployment decisions (KEMs vs signatures\, and where each appears in real protocols).\nIdentify the “blast radius” of PQC across enterprise stacks: TLS termination\, mTLS in service meshes\, VPN gateways\, PKI hierarchies\, code signing\, device identity\, and third-party dependencies.\nRecognize common failure modes early (performance regressions\, MTU/fragmentation surprises\, certificate chain bloat\, middlebox issues\, brittle crypto dependencies).\nUnderstand what a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) and cryptographic inventory should contain to support a defensible migration plan.\nApply practical crypto-agility patterns (abstraction\, configuration-driven crypto policy\, algorithm negotiation\, safe upgrade/rollback\, test harnessing).\nLeave with a sample “first 90 days” approach: what to inventory\, what to pilot\, what to test\, and how to avoid expensive dead ends.\n\n\nTopics Covered\nThis session covers the following topics (with an emphasis on real-world architectures and operational constraints): \n1) Threat model and technical context (fast\, practical intro)\n\nCRQC as a planning concept (what “cryptanalytically relevant” actually means for engineering timelines)\nHarvest-now/decrypt-later vs integrity and authenticity risks (“trust now\, forge later”)\n“Why now” signals: standards\, platform roadmaps\, and compliance pressure turning into delivery pressure\n\n2) Standards landscape you can build on\n\nNIST PQC standards: what’s finalized\, what’s next\, and why it matters to architects\nKEMs vs signatures in real systems (where key exchange ends and authentication begins)\nHybrid approaches (why they exist\, how they reduce risk\, and what they complicate)\n\n3) Where PQC hits first in real enterprise stacks\n\nTLS 1.3 / HTTPS at the edge: handshake and certificate impacts\, termination patterns\nmTLS for east-west traffic (service mesh / microservices) and what “small inefficiencies” become at scale\nVPN and remote access: gateway constraints\, device fleets\, and “upgrade sequencing”\nPKI and certificate lifecycles: issuance\, rotation\, chain size\, and operational overhead\nSoftware supply chain: code signing\, firmware signing\, CI/CD trust roots\, artifact verification\n\n4) Network and infrastructure realities\n\nPerformance and scaling assumptions that quietly break (latency\, CPU\, memory\, bandwidth)\nMTU\, fragmentation\, and “middlebox weirdness”\nLoad balancers\, proxies\, WAFs\, CDNs\, and cloud-managed TLS: where you can change crypto vs where you can only influence it\n\n5) Cryptographic discovery\, inventory\, and CBOM (the work nobody can skip)\n\nWhat a cryptographic inventory must include to be migration-useful (not just “RSA is used somewhere”)\nBuilding and operationalizing CBOMs across products\, platforms\, and vendors\nContinuous crypto discovery (because inventories rot fast)\n\n6) Risk-driven prioritization and migration planning\n\nHow to prioritize when full inventory is not feasible (risk-driven sampling\, choke points\, long-lived data paths)\nMigration waves: “protect long-life data first” vs “protect the broadest crypto infrastructure first”\nVendor and third-party dependencies: how to ask for the right evidence (not marketing)\n\n7) Crypto-agility patterns for teams that must ship\n\nPractical crypto-agility reference patterns (abstraction layers\, policy engines\, configuration control)\nDesigning for algorithm change as a normal operating condition (not an emergency project)\nTesting\, rollback\, and avoiding one-way doors\n\n\nWhy “Wait and See” Is No Longer a Strategy\nPQC is not a future-only problem – and for technical teams\, the reason is simple: migration lead time is the risk. \nEven if you ignore Q-Day forecasting entirely\, you still face a very practical reality: cryptography is embedded across protocols\, products\, libraries\, certificates\, devices\, and vendor ecosystems. The hard part is not selecting an algorithm – it’s discovering dependencies\, coordinating change across owners\, and validating performance and interoperability before deadlines and incidents force rushed work. \nThe earlier you test\, the fewer surprises you pay for later. \n\nWho Should Attend\nThis webcast is designed for: \n\nSecurity architects\, enterprise architects\, and platform architects\nCryptography engineers\, PKI owners\, and certificate services teams\nNetwork/security engineers responsible for TLS termination\, VPNs\, gateways\, and edge infrastructure\nDevSecOps\, SRE\, and cloud security teams supporting large-scale mTLS and service connectivity\nApplication security and product security teams (especially those who own libraries and build pipelines)\nSecurity engineering leaders who need a technically credible roadmap (not a slideware plan)\n\nNo advanced math or physics required. If you’re comfortable with modern security architecture (TLS/PKI concepts\, key management basics\, and how systems integrate)\, you’re the target audience. \n\nThis Session\nThursday\, 22 April 2026\n\nTime: 11:00 AM SGT | 8:30 AM IST | 1:00 PM AEST | 8:00 PM PDT (21 April)\n\nAll events in the series: Quantum Security Awareness for Practitioners – Free Technical Webcast Series \n\nWant the hands-on version?\nThis webcast is an awareness-level extract of the material. All topics above will be covered in far greater depth in a 5-day\, hands-on course (SEC531) currently being developed by SANS Institute and Applied Quantum\, including practical exercises\, implementation patterns\, and real-world migration playbooks. \n\nRegistration\nThis event is co-hosted by SANS Institute and Applied Quantum. Registration is free. RSVP Below. \nPlease register below using your email address. Within minutes\, you will receive a confirmation email containing a calendar invite and the unique Zoom link for the day. If the email does not arrive shortly\, please check your junk or spam folder\, or contact us at admin@appliedquantum.com. \n\nNo fluff. No jargon. Just the clarity and next steps security practitioners need. For questions or group registrations\, contact Applied Quantum. \n
