EVENT CANCELED: Quantum Technology Forum: Q-Day Is Coming

Description

A Governance Playbook for CISOs and Boards

When quantum breaks encryption, who's liable and who’s accountable?

When quantum computing breaks today’s encryption, the impact won’t be technical — it will be financial, operational, and legal. Sensitive data is already being harvested with the expectation it can be decrypted later, creating compounding exposure and raising questions about liability and oversight.

This session moves past theory to execution: how to build a defensible crypto inventory, identify data with long-term risk, and begin adopting crypto-agile approaches aligned to emerging standards like NIST PQC. This is not a tool decision. It requires a multi-year enterprise shift in how cryptography is managed, governed, and reported. Organizations that act now reduce exposure. Those that don’t will eventually have to explain why.

This panel presentation includes:

• E.G. Nadhan - Board Chair, The HDF Group, Former IBM Quantum Senior Ambassador and Red Hat Chief Architect 
• Robert Taylor JD - Artificial Intelligence, Technology & Intellectual Property | AI Triage Center | General Counsel Carstens, Allen & Gourley, LLP 
• Mike Thompson - Managing Partner QuantaCyber, Quantum Resilient Security Tri-Chair Tech Titans Quantum Forum, Board Member
