Federal Quantum Readiness Forum

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.
