Course Overview
Advances in quantum computing may eventually challenge widely used cryptographic systems. While large-scale quantum attacks are not yet practical, organisations are beginning to prepare for a future transition toward quantum-resistant cryptography. Planning this transition requires structured governance, risk awareness, and careful migration strategies.
This mentor-led programme introduces the concepts behind post-quantum cryptography readiness and organisational preparation. Participants explore how existing cryptographic systems are used across infrastructure, applications, and data protection mechanisms. Through practical scenarios, learners develop the mindset needed to identify cryptographic dependencies and plan future migration strategies.
The course also focuses on communication, governance, and rollout planning. By the end of the programme, participants will understand how to conduct cryptographic inventories, assess risk exposure, and support structured post-quantum migration initiatives within their organisations.
