Y2Q & the Quantum (Q-Day) Countdown
Many leaders assume the Y2K playbook will handle Q-Day. It will not. With Google and Cloudflare tracking a compressed 2029 migration window, the time to act is now.
For leadership teams moving from find-and-patch remediation to active post-quantum readiness, before the 2029 migration window closes.
Event starts in:

Leadership Briefing Snapshot
Y2K was a predictable software bug with a hard stop. Y2Q is a complete cryptographic migration with no single switch to flip. This session is built for strategic decision-makers responsible for security architecture, regulatory compliance, and migration execution.
Deliverable 1
Cryptographic exposure across your environment mapped to your organization's attack surface.
Deliverable 2
HNDL risk assessment framework for data retention and key exchange patterns.
Deliverable 3
PQC transition roadmap aligned with NIST and CNSA 2.0 timelines.
Board
Clarify exposure horizon for 7-20+ year confidentiality obligations and define risk accountability.
CISO
Prioritize inventory, HNDL modeling, and implementation weaknesses that can amplify quantum-era impact.
CIO/CTO
Use a practical evaluation framework to avoid rushed migrations and sequence investments with evidence.

Agenda
60 minutes of concentrated, actionable content.
What You'll Learn
In 60 minutes, gain the knowledge that takes most security teams months to acquire.
Defeating Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Why waiting for a definitive Q-Day leaves archived and legacy data exposed to theft today, and what to prioritize first.
The Reality of Shor's Algorithm
A clear, hype-free look at what actually breaks when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives.
Building Crypto-Agility
How to design a flexible security architecture that can pivot as standards, threats, and infrastructure evolve.
The PQC Playbook
Building a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) and inventory, understanding your cryptographic debt, and validating controls in a pre-quantum world.
Bonus: QScout Assessment Intake
Attendees can request operator-reviewed QScout assessment scoping for an approved domain.

What This Session Is — and What It Is Not
This is not a hype session. It is a grounded assessment of active threats and approaching deadlines.
This is a practical technical briefing on:
Regulations & Standards Impact
We also discuss how testing on platforms accessible through IBM Quantum, IonQ, Quantinuum, Rigetti, QuEra, and D-Wave informs feasibility analysis and attack acceleration modeling.
Who Should Attend?
“If you handle sensitive data, regulated information, or mission-critical operations — you need to be here.”
