2026 Event Schedule

As quantum computing advances, both private enterprises and government agencies face a critical security deadline. Today's encrypted data can be collected now and decrypted later once large-scale quantum computers become operational. This session examines how data centers can prepare for the post-quantum era by focusing on practical, technical, and regulatory readiness.

Attendees will gain insights into the latest updates on NIST's post-quantum cryptography standards for 2025 and the NSA CNSA 2.0 timelines. The discussion will include migration strategies for data centers, highlighting how to achieve crypto-agility and implement hybrid models that combine classical encryption with post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.

The session will also analyze the risk implications for both regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare, as well as for government and defense workloads. Additional focus will be given to the technical and operational challenges of deploying post-quantum cryptography across high-density AI clusters, sovereign clouds, and edge data centers. Ultimately, it will examine how public and private sector collaboration can enhance readiness while ensuring compliance with global regulatory requirements.

By the conclusion, participants will have a clear roadmap for securing data centers against quantum threats, balancing compliance, cryptographic agility, and long-term resilience.
