SUMMARY:Quantum Security Awareness for Executives - Free Webcast
DESCRIPTION:A free executive briefing co-hosted by SANS Institute and Applied Quantum. Cut through the hype\, understand the risk\, and leave with actionable next steps. \n\nAbout This Event\nThis complimentary webcast is designed for security leaders who need a clear\, no-nonsense understanding of the quantum threat – and what to do about it now. Co-hosted by SANS Institute and Applied Quantum\, the session explains what’s changing in the cryptographic landscape\, why the migration to quantum-safe standards is far larger than most organizations expect\, and what practical steps you can take today. \nQuantum risk is not a future-only problem. Adversaries can harvest encrypted data today for later decryption\, while regulators and customers increasingly expect demonstrable progress now – not just plans for 2030 or 2035. \nFormat: Free live webcast (multiple sessions available) Duration: Awareness-level briefing – 2 hours Cost: Free \n\nWhat You Will Learn\nThis briefing gives security leaders: \n\nA clear map of the quantum threat landscape\, including how Harvest Now\, Decrypt Later attacks put long-life data at risk immediately – before quantum computers even arrive.\nA leadership-ready understanding of migration scope: cryptography is embedded across applications\, infrastructure\, vendors\, devices\, and identity systems – this is an enterprise-wide migration\, not a single control change.\nA concise view of what’s changing: algorithms\, certificates\, protocols\, vendor roadmaps\, and performance assumptions.\nThe compliance context: why demonstrable progress – inventories\, roadmaps\, vendor commitments\, and pilot results – is increasingly expected now\, not just by 2030/2035.\nA preview of the hard parts: cryptographic discovery\, legacy systems\, third-party dependencies\, and performance impacts.\nA practical checklist of next steps to start building an organization-wide quantum readiness plan.\nCommon narrative and terminology that reduces friction between risk owners and implementers.\n\n\nWhy “Wait and See” Is No Longer a Strategy\nThis is an enterprise-wide cryptographic migration\, not a single control. Crypto is embedded across applications\, infrastructure\, vendors\, devices\, and identity. The deadlines are only part of the story – the real challenge is inventory\, dependency mapping\, and coordinated change across teams and suppliers. \nAttackers don’t need quantum computers to start. Harvest Now\, Decrypt Later can put long-life data at risk immediately. Post-quantum changes can affect performance\, interoperability\, certificates\, and operational processes\, which means planning requires technical reality checks. \nRegulators and stakeholders increasingly expect evidence of progress – not just awareness. \n\nWho Should Attend\nThis webcast is designed for: \n\nCISOs\, CIOs\, Heads of Security\, Security Directors\nSecurity architects and enterprise architects\nGRC\, risk\, and compliance leaders who need a quantum-ready view of evidence and timelines\nIAM\, PKI\, TLS\, and VPN owners and the technical leaders who support them\nVendor assurance and procurement stakeholders involved in security requirements and roadmaps\n\n\nThis Session\nThursday\, 26 February 2026 – APAC-friendly live session\n\nTime: 1:00 PM SGT | 10:30 AM IST | 9:00 AM GST (Dubai) | 5:00 AM UTC |  6:00 AM CET\n\nAll events in the series: Quantum Security Awareness for Executives – Free Webcast Series \n\nWant to go deeper?\nThese topics are covered in much more detail in the SANS Institute and Applied Quantum course SEC529: Quantum Security Readiness for Executives. Registration now open. \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.

Just the clarity and next steps security leaders need. For questions or group registrations\, contact Applied Quantum. \n

SUMMARY:Quantum Security Awareness (Payments Edition): Payments Are Cryptography - PQC Under Millisecond SLAs
DESCRIPTION:About This Event\nThis 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. \nPayments are unusually crypto‑dense and time‑dense: a single authorization spans parties that don’t share one change calendar (merchant → PSP/gateway → processor → network/switch → issuer → clearing/settlement)\, 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.  \nFig 1: Sampe Cryptographic Complexity in Interbank Payments\nIn payments\, quantum readiness is an interoperability and sequencing problem as much as a cryptography problem. That’s why governance levers matter: PCI DSS v4.0 Req. 12.3.3 (documenting and reviewing cipher suites and protocols) is a practical forcing function for building crypto inventory discipline and making “crypto agility” real rather than aspirational. \nWe’ll translate the most useful real-world lessons into payments-specific decisions – drawing on central-bank experimentation from BIS Project Leap Phase 1 (hybrid encryption for payment-message confidentiality) and Phase 2 (PQC signatures in a TARGET2 context)\, where performance\, interoperability\, crypto-agility\, and vendor dependencies were tested in practice. \nWe’ll also treat integrity as first‑class\, not an afterthought. Payments rely on long‑lived certificates\, signed artifacts\, and device identities that underpin authorization evidence and operational trust. That’s where the TNFL (“trust now\, forge later”) lens becomes operational: it helps you prioritize signature/PKI trust anchors – not only confidentiality flows. \nMost importantly\, this will be a practical\, rails‑tested discussion. We’ll cover the real engineering lessons from BIS Project Leap and Leap 2 – including what these experiments teach us about compatibility\, performance budgets\, message sizes\, and multi‑component change. \nBy the end\, you should have a clear way to identify the 1–2 most “pilotable” payment corridors for hybrid/PQC work without breaking SLAs\, and a smarter structure for vendor/partner conversations grounded in what real payment infrastructure projects encountered\, and industry drivers like PCI DSS 12.3.3\, FS‑ISAC guidance\, and G7 financial-sector coordination efforts. \nFormat: Free live webcast (multiple sessions available) \nDuration: Awareness-level briefing – 1.5 hours \nCost: Free \n\nWhat Will You Learn\n\nWhere PQC migration actually fails first in payments: latency\, retries\, MTU/message size\, HSM throughput\, and certificate-chain realities.\nHow to use BIS Project Leap Phases 1–2 as a practical benchmark for what “PQC in real rails” demands (not a lab PoC).\nHow to prioritize TNFL-sensitive trust anchors (signing keys\, PKI roots\, device identity) alongside confidentiality flows.\nWhat “crypto agility” means operationally in payment platforms—and why hybrid often requires system evolution.\nHow to turn PCI/FS‑ISAC/G7 signals into concrete partner/vendor conversations and sequencing decisions.\n\n\nWho Should Attend\nCISOs and security/crypto leads in issuers\, acquirers\, processors\, PSPs/gateways\, networks/switches\, and payments infrastructure providers. \n\nPrerequisites\nGeneral awareness of quantum security risk\, PQC basics\, and typical migration challenges is helpful – but not required. For a primer-style session\, attendees may optionally join the introductory briefings we regularly provide: see Applied Quantum Events.  \n\nThis Session\nWednesday\, 24 Feb 2026\n\nTime: 8:00 AM CET | 7:00 AM GMT | 11:00 AM GST | 12:30 PM IST | 3:00 PM SGT | 6:00 PM AEDT\n\nAll events in the series: Quantum Security Awareness – Industry Editions \n\nRegistration\nThis event is co-hosted by Applied Quantum and QSECDEF.
