Safeguarding America's Data Against Quantum-Enabled Cyber Attacks
A Luncheon About Quantum Computing and
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Thursday, September 17, 2026 | 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM ET
Event Overview
As quantum computing edges closer to reality, the encryption protecting today's most sensitive data faces an unprecedented threat. Our luncheon opens with a keynote address from Khoi Nguyen, U.S. Cyber Command, offering a senior-level perspective on the strategic stakes of the quantum transition.
Following the keynote, senior government leaders will participate in a candid Executive Roundtable, chaired by Dr. Britta Hale, Department of the Secretary of War, on quantum risk, the shift to post-quantum cryptography, and what organizations must do now to stay ahead.
Join us as we share tactical blueprints for deploying Post-Quantum Cryptography across legacy networks right now to ensure our nation's secrets remain secure against the quantum threat of tomorrow.
Attendees will gain a deeper insight on how to:
- Protect national security information from future quantum attacks
- Defend critical infrastructure and Homeland Security systems
- Mitigate “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threats impacting the warfighter
- Ensure mission continuity and trusted communications for the warfighter
- Achieve compliance with federal quantum readiness mandates and executive orders
