Quantum Safe Systems

About This Course

Post-quantum migration will take years. Organisations therefore need to understand today where vulnerable cryptography is used, which systems require early action, and where migration can safely wait.

This one-day masterclass provides developers, architects, security professionals and technical leaders with the practical knowledge needed to prepare for that transition. Participants will examine the quantum threat, NIST-standardised algorithms including ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, and their impact on real-world technologies such as TLS, PKI, authentication, cloud infrastructure and embedded systems.

The course then turns this understanding into action, covering cryptographic inventories, third-party dependencies, migration priorities, hybrid approaches, and crypto agility. Participants leave with a clear framework for assessing their current exposure and building a realistic roadmap towards quantum-safe systems.

Your Top 4 Takeaways

1. Understand the real quantum threat
   Identify which cryptographic algorithms and systems are vulnerable, which remain secure and how “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” may affect sensitive information today.
2. Understand post-quantum cryptography
   Develop a practical understanding of ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, including their use cases, performance considerations and implications for existing technology environments.
3. Assess the impact on real systems
   Explore how post-quantum cryptography affects applications, TLS, VPNs, certificates, PKI, authentication, APIs, embedded systems, cloud infrastructure and network protocols.
4. Build a practical transition roadmap
   Learn how to identify cryptographic dependencies, assess migration priorities, engage vendors and develop a phased roadmap towards quantum-safe systems.

Prerequsites

No specialist knowledge of quantum computing or advanced cryptography is required.

A general understanding of software applications, IT infrastructure, cybersecurityor technology architecture will be beneficial. Technical concepts are explained clearly and without unnecessary mathematical complexity, making the course accessible to both technical practitioners and technology decision makers.
