Federal Quantum Readiness Forum
Quantum computing is rapidly evolving. As agencies prepare for a future where quantum technologies can break today’s encryption standards, federal leaders are now strengthening resilience and modernizing cryptography.
Experts explore how agencies can prepare for the post-quantum era. Discussions include steps in post-quantum cryptography migration, inventorying and prioritizing vulnerable systems and aligning with new federal guidance and standards. The forum will provide opportunity to learn from the experts about assessing risk, prioritizing investments and building a roadmap for quantum readiness.
Attendees may receive up to 3 continuing professional education (CPE) credits. For more information, please click here.

Federal agencies face federal directives on post-quantum cryptography migration and quantum readiness. This panel will examine what current federal guidance means for agency leaders, which steps should come first and how organizations can establish milestones and measure progress.
Post-quantum readiness starts with understanding cryptographic discovery and vulnerability identification. This panel will explore how agencies can identify cryptographic assets across applications, networks, cloud environments and devices, assess risks in legacy infrastructure and supply chains, and prioritize migration. Speakers will also address how to build a risk-based roadmap for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography.
Quantum-enabled attacks threaten sensitive national security data, secure communications and military operations. Defense and intelligence agencies must protect information and maintain resilience for unique classified environments through the transition to post-quantum cryptography. This panel will examine the technology considerations for national security systems, warfighter communications and mission assurance.
Agencies preparing for the quantum era must consider how their cybersecurity strategies adapt around post-quantum cryptography, crypto-agility, artificial and super intelligence, and risk management in long-term security planning. Attendees will learn which capabilities need attention now and how to develop a cybersecurity strategy that remains resilient as quantum technology advances.
