Quantum Cyber Readiness

Course outline

The technological world is standing on the precipice of a revolution. While quantum computing unlocks immense opportunities, it presents an existential threat to the classical encryption systems currently protecting your organization's most sensitive data. This executive-level course provides CISOs and technology leaders with critical knowledge and practical tools to prepare for the "Q-Day"—the moment current encryption is breached. Focusing on the immediate "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" threat and the upcoming NIST 2030 regulations, this program delivers a structured methodology for building an organizational roadmap toward Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).

Upon completion, participants will emerge with: • Develop a Strategic Defense Strategy: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the quantum threat landscape and the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" risk to effectively lead the organizational transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). • Navigate Emerging Regulations: Master the new NIST 2030 standards and understand how to align your organization’s security posture with international compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA) in a post-quantum world. • Practice Real-World Scenarios: The curriculum includes practical challenges and scenarios, providing insights into real-world applications of penetration testing. • Lead Board-Level Decisions: Acquire the knowledge and terminology needed to articulate the business risk to executive leadership and build a solid business case for PQC investment. • Implement Advanced PQC Methodologies: Get hands-on exposure to the latest cryptographic algorithms (such as Kyber and Dilithium) and tools for managing cryptographic inventory and risk.
