Q-Day Countdown: Are You Prepared?

Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Webcast Series

Experts agree that quantum computing will likely become powerful enough to break modern-day encryption within the next 10–15 years on “Q Day.” Once encryption is defeated, the computing world will never be the same. Organizations need to identify the correct courses of action to take today so that the sudden onset of quantum computing does not threaten their critical assets. In this webcast, Brett Tucker, Dan Justice, and Matthew Butkovic discuss the challenges expected with the realization of quantum computing capabilities. Furthermore, the group will provide possible responses to mitigate future impacts from the onset of quantum computing.

What Will Attendees Learn?

• what Q Day is
• events that may occur leading up to the actual day itself
• challenges that must be overcome in quantum computing (attendees need to learn and appreciate the factors that may influence the successful emergence of quantum computing)
• actions that can be taken today to build resilience from this technological disruption
