This complimentary webcast is designed for payments security leaders who need a clear, no‑nonsense view of the quantum threat - and what to do about it now, without fluff. Co‑hosted by QSECDEF and Applied Quantum, this session cuts through generic PQC talk and focuses on what makes payments different: crypto everywhere, many independent parties, and millisecond operational envelopes that you can’t break. We focus on the real blockers in payments: interdependencies, performance budgets, and vendor/partner sequencing. Payments are unusually crypto‑dense and time‑dense: a single authorization spans parties that don’t share one change calendar, and the chain must complete inside strict timeout/retry behavior. We’ll use an interbank cryptography stack mapping as a concrete illustration of how many trust boundaries exist before you even introduce PQC - and why “just upgrade the algorithm” is not a plan.
