Workshop recap: Quantum threats are coming – are you ready?

You’re definitely not alone in worrying about the shift to quantum-safe encryption – just look at the standing-room-only crowd at Sven Rajala and Tomas Gustavsson's workshop on PQC and crypto-agility. The energy was electric, and the conversation was even more engaging. As you can imagine, the Q&A session buzzed with animated discussions and high energy from everyone involved.

If you haven’t started thinking about crypto-agility, now’s the time. Tomas summed it up perfectly: “You don’t employ crypto-agility for today’s challenges, but for future migrations. Hybrid certificates are the safest bet for interoperability – allowing organizations to start their PQC journey today without breaking existing systems.”
