The Triple Threat
Iran, China & the Quantum Cliff
The War on the U.S. Infrastructure has already begun. State-sponsored attacks and cryptographic obsolescence are converging.
For leadership teams defending against nation-state threats, HNDL attacks, and the approaching quantum cliff across critical infrastructure.

Leadership Briefing Snapshot
The threat landscape has shifted from ransomware defense to state-sponsored attacks and cryptographic obsolescence. This session is built for strategic decision-makers responsible for national security, regulatory compliance, and migration execution.
Deliverable 1
State-sponsored threat landscape 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.

What You'll Learn
In 60 minutes, gain the knowledge that takes most security teams months to acquire.
The Iran/China Axis
Analyzing the surge in malware and data-destruction attacks targeting North American infrastructure from pro-Iranian and Chinese state-sponsored actors.
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Why China is intercepting your encrypted traffic today and how your data retention security is a ticking time bomb for future quantum decryption.
How Enemies Can Sow Chaos
What are the opportunities to disrupt U.S. capabilities and the potential impacts across global society, critical infrastructure, and national security.
PQC Transition Decisions
Key steps in your post-quantum encryption plan: how to assess, test, and remediate to stay ahead of quantum attacks before the window closes.
Bonus: QScout Baseline
All attendees get a complimentary QScout scan of their domain.
You leave with:
Threat intelligence brief on Iran and China cyber operations
HNDL risk timeline mapped to your data retention obligations
PQC transition checklist with assessment and remediation steps
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:
State-sponsored attack patterns targeting U.S. infrastructure
Harvest Now, Decrypt Later: how China is collecting your encrypted data today
Disruption scenarios: how adversaries can sow chaos across critical sectors
Post-quantum cryptography migration decision framework
Criteria for when a structured quantum risk assessment is warranted or not
Regulations & Standards Impact
CNSA 2.0 guidance
CMMC and FIPS 140 requirements
PCI DSS cryptographic governance
NERC CIP
HIPAA data requirements
We also discuss how testing on platforms accessible through IBM Quantum, Google Quantum, IonQ, Quantinuum, Rigetti, Xanadu, 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.”
