Why 2029 has the potential to change everything for cyber security leaders<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s revised prediction<\/a> that ‘Q-Day’ \u2013 the moment quantum computers can break today\u2019s encryption \u2013 could arrive as early as 2029 is a wake-up call for every organisation. What was once seen as a distant, theoretical risk is now a near-term business challenge, driven by rapid advances in quantum hardware, error correction, and cryptographic capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while 2029 is still years off, there is a real current threat that requires urgent attention. Cyber adversaries are already exploiting a ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ strategy<\/a> \u2013 collecting encrypted data today with the intent to crack it once quantum capabilities mature. This means sensitive data could already be at risk, even if Q-Day is still some time in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why attend?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this session, we\u2019ll break down what the accelerated 2029 timeline means for your organisation, why most enterprises remain unprepared, and how to start your transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We\u2019ll explore the practical challenges \u2013 from legacy systems to cryptographic inventory \u2013 and outline actionable steps to build quantum resilience before the window to act closes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
