SUMMARY:Quantum Security Community - Online Fortnightly Update (EMEA\, APAC)
DESCRIPTION:***Quantum Security Community*** *is a free\, global\, practitioner-led network sharing real-world PQC insights and supporting one another through the most complex IT/OT security transformation of our time. Explore the channels at* ***[Quantum.Security](https://quantum.security)*** \n—————— \n**A weekly\, online community meetup for quantum security practitioners — focused on signal\, not hype.** \nPost-quantum cryptography (PQC)\, crypto agility\, quantum threat models\, and standards timelines are all evolving quickly. For security teams\, the challenge isn’t “finding information” — it’s deciding **what matters**\, **what changed**\, and **what to do next**. Quantum Security Weekly exists to make that easier. \nWe run the **same meetup twice each week** to cover global time zones: \n* **Session 1:** Europe / Middle East / APAC-friendly\n* **Session 2:** Europe / Americas-friendly\n(Choose the one that fits your schedule – content is aligned across both.) \n### **What happens each week** \nYou’ll get a curated update across the four categories that consistently drive real-world decisions: \n**1) Regulation & policy signals**\nNew requirements\, supervisory guidance\, national strategies\, procurement rules\, sector-specific expectations – and what they imply for timelines and planning. \n**2) Standards and “rules of the road”**\nUpdates to cryptographic standards and related ecosystems (protocols\, identity\, secure elements\, industry frameworks). We focus on what changes adoption feasibility\, interoperability\, or audit/compliance expectations. \n**3) Technical developments**\nCredible signals about quantum computing capability\, relevant cryptanalysis\, and meaningful algorithmic/security research (including “RSA-breaking” or signature-related developments) – explained in terms of security impact\, not headlines. \n**4) Practical implementation reality**\nThe stuff that makes or breaks programs: where crypto actually lives\, dependency chains\, vendor readiness\, device constraints\, performance tradeoffs\, rollout sequencing\, and “what we learned the hard way.” \n### **Speakers and community contributions** \nWe often invite a guest speaker to share practical experience (implementation lessons\, program strategy\, technical deep dives). Sometimes we’ll host short product introductions – but the default posture is educational and experience-driven\, not salesy.

SUMMARY:Quantum Security Awareness (Banking Edition): Trust Anchors at Bank Scale - PKI\, Signing\, and Long‑Lived Evidence
DESCRIPTION:About This Event\nThis complimentary webcast is designed for banking security leaders who need a clear\, no‑nonsense understanding of the quantum threat – and what to do about it now.  The session avoids generic “PQC 101” and goes straight to what makes banking different: institutional identity and long‑lived evidence are the real blast radius. \nIn a bank\, cryptography isn’t just protecting data in transit – it is the foundation of trust at scale: CA hierarchies\, enterprise PKI\, service‑to‑service mTLS\, customer and workforce authentication\, signed tokens (e.g.\, OAuth/JWT ecosystems)\, document and transaction signing\, code‑signing in CI/CD\, and the regulated archives that prove what happened\, when\, and under which authorization. The uncomfortable banking‑specific reality is that “confidentiality later” is only half the story: if signatures and PKI trust anchors become forgeable in the future\, the bank’s ability to prove integrity\, provenance\, and non‑repudiation comes under pressure. \nThis is also why the industry drivers are accelerating. The G7 Cyber Expert Group released a roadmap specifically to coordinate the transition to post‑quantum cryptography in the financial sector\, explicitly positioning PQC as a systemic resilience issue (not an isolated technical upgrade).  FS‑ISAC has likewise urged global coordination and milestones for financial services migration\, framing the transition as an interdependency problem that can’t be solved bank‑by‑bank in isolation.  \nOn the regulatory side\, the EU’s DORA technical standards don’t mention “PQC” by name – but they effectively force the behavior you need for it: a documented encryption/cryptographic controls policy\, provisions to update cryptographic technology based on developments in cryptanalysis\, and (critically for banks) stronger discipline around certificate and key lifecycle management\, including maintaining a certificate register for critical systems. And while NIS2 raises governance expectations for “banking” as a highly critical sector\, many banks will experience DORA as the sharper operational driver in practice (and the directives explicitly acknowledge that overlap).  \nThe session is intentionally practical: how to start with “trust anchors first\,” how to sequence changes without detonating production dependencies\, and how to pressure‑test vendor roadmaps so “PQC‑ready” becomes a measurable engineering claim rather than marketing. \nFormat: Free live webcast (multiple sessions available) \nDuration: Awareness-level briefing – 1.5 hours \nCost: Free \n\nWhat Will You Learn\n\nA bank‑specific trust map: where quantum‑vulnerable crypto sits across PKI\, token signing\, mTLS\, signing services\, CI/CD\, and regulated archives.\nHow to translate sector signals into action: using the G7 roadmap and FS‑ISAC milestones to set internal timelines and vendor expectations. \nHow to turn “DORA compliance” into quantum readiness: using required crypto policies\, cryptanalysis‑driven update expectations\, and certificate lifecycle controls as forcing functions for crypto agility. \nTrust‑anchor‑first sequencing: what it means in practice (CA modernization\, certificate inventory\, signing key governance\, rollover planning\, hybrid boundaries).\nVendor and third‑party reality checks: what to ask cloud providers\, HSM/KMS vendors\, core banking platforms\, identity stacks\, and managed service partners – and how to spot hand‑wavy roadmaps.\nA pragmatic “first pilots” playbook: which banking domains are most pilotable\, how to contain blast radius\, and what success metrics to track.\n\n\nWho Should Attend\nCISOs\, CISO‑1 cyber leaders\, PKI and IAM owners\, platform security leads\, crypto engineering teams\, cloud/KMS/HSM owners\, and third‑party / outsourcing risk leaders in banks and banking service providers. \n\nPrerequisites\nGeneral familiarity with quantum security concepts\, PQC\, and large‑scale migration challenges is helpful – but not required. If you want a fast\, executive‑level refresher before attending\, you can optionally join Applied Quantum’s free “Quantum Security Awareness for Executives” briefing. See Applied Quantum Events.  \n\nThis Session\nWednesday\, 11 Jun 2026\n\nTime: 9:00 PM CEST | 3:00 PM EDT | 8:00 PM BST | 11:00 PM GST | 12:00 PM PDT\n\nAll events in the series: Quantum Security Awareness – Industry Editions \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is free.
