Webcast overview
As advances in quantum computing accelerate, organizations are facing a new category of risk: the potential for current cryptographic protections to become vulnerable. While practical timelines for large scale quantum impact are still evolving, leading enterprises are beginning to assess exposure and define response strategies today.
This session brings together KPMG and Microsoft to provide a clear, executive level perspective on the fundamentals of the quantum threat — cutting through technical complexity to focus on what matters most for business and technology leaders.
During this one-hour discussion, we will explore how organizations can begin to frame quantum risk in a practical, measured way — distinguishing near term considerations from longer term transformation and aligning security strategy to emerging industry standards.
Discussion topics will include:
- What the quantum threat is — and why it is becoming a business‑relevant issue now
- How advances in quantum computing may impact today’s cryptographic environments
- Key concepts in post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) and standardization efforts
- Practical considerations for identifying exposure and beginning internal planning
- How leading organizations are approaching quantum readiness without over‑rotating on hype or uncertain timelines
