Introduction to Quantum-safe security - Glevia Training

Description:

Quantum computers are no longer a distant theoretical concept—they represent an existential threat to our current global security infrastructure. Cryptographic systems like RSA and ECC, which protect everything from financial transactions to government secrets, are vulnerable to being broken by sufficiently powerful quantum machines through algorithms like Shor's.

The time to prepare is now. With nation-states actively engaging in "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) tactics, data captured today could be exposed years from now.

This training course is designed to equip IT professionals, network engineers, CISOs, policymakers, and technical decision-makers with the practical knowledge needed to navigate this critical transition and secure their organization's future.

Why register for this course:

By the end of this comprehensive training, you will be able to:

• Understand the imminent threat horizon posed by quantum computing and differentiate between "quantum-safe," "post-quantum," and "quantum-resistant" solutions;
• Evaluate and compare mitigation options, including the pros and cons of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), and hybrid approaches;
• Identify actionable steps your organization can take today, such as conducting a crypto inventory, classifying sensitive data, and starting proofs-of-concept (PoCs) with PQC-capable systems;
• Navigate the complex landscape of standardization and regulation, understanding key timelines from bodies like NIST, ETSI, and regulatory pressures such as NIS2 and US Executive Orders;
• Develop a clear, risk-based migration strategy for integrating new security protocols into existing infrastructure (TLS, IPsec, SSH) and managing vendor discussions (Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet).

Who should participate:

This course is ideally suited for:

• IT security professionals looking to future-proof their networks;
• Network engineers responsible for infrastructure design and maintenance;
• CISOs and technical decision-makers setting security policy and strategy;
• Policymakers and compliance officers needing to understand upcoming regulatory requirements.

Basic prior knowledge of cryptography or cybersecurity concepts is recommended.
