The Quantum Threat is coming. Are You Ready?
The cybersecurity world is standing on the edge of its biggest shake-up in decades. Quantum computers promise extraordinary breakthroughs—but they also threaten to break the very encryption that keeps our digital lives safe. For cybersecurity professionals, government leaders, and technology executives, there’s one session at Quantum World Congress 2025 you can’t afford to miss: Charting the Path to Post-Quantum Cryptography.
The numbers are staggering. The World Economic Forum estimates more than 20 billion digital services worldwide will need to be rebuilt or replaced over the next two decades. That’s not just an IT headache—it’s a national security emergency. Federal agencies have a deadline of 2035 to migrate to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). For private industry—banking, healthcare, energy, transportation—the clock is ticking just as fast.
This transition won’t be quick. Experts say it will take a decade or more to retool our interconnected systems. And in that gap lies the risk: every day spent waiting is a day where traditional encryption gets closer to becoming obsolete.
Why This Session Matters
This isn’t just another cybersecurity briefing. It’s an invitation to join the people who are shaping the future. You’ll gain insider perspectives on how PQC will rewire national security, financial services, and critical infrastructure. You’ll move beyond the “what” of the technology and into the strategic implications of the greatest cryptographic shift of our lifetime.
And unlike other conferences, this session isn’t passive. You’ll take part in a hands-on workshop led by experts from the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), grounded in real insights from the Government Business Executive Forum’s national survey of cybersecurity executives. It’s a rare opportunity to stress-test your own thinking against the views of America’s top cyber leaders.
