Postquantum Cryptography: The Quiet Crisis Security Leaders Need to Address

Upcoming

Live session on October 14, 2026

1:00 p.m. EDT

1 hour

What you’ll learn

  • Understand the timeline and organizational implications of the transition to postquantum cryptography (PQC) and cryptoagility

  • Assess cryptographic dependencies, exposures and migration priorities across applications, vendors and infrastructure

  • Establish the governance, workforce responsibilities and vendor management capabilities required to support a multiyear PQC transition

  • Develop a roadmap for planning and coordinating PQC initiatives across the enterprise


Many organizations remain dependent on cryptographic systems that were not designed to withstand emerging quantum computing threats. As postquantum cryptography standards mature and implementation timelines become clearer, security and technology leaders must prepare for a complex, multiyear transition. Organizations that delay planning may face increased security, operational and compliance risk.


This webinar explains the postquantum cryptography landscape in straightforward terms and outlines what leaders should expect as standards, regulations and technology requirements evolve. Gartner will examine how to assess cryptographic exposure, scope a PQC program, establish governance, manage vendor and application dependencies, and build long-term cryptoagility. The session will also examine transition timelines, implementation considerations and the program capabilities required to prepare for a phased migration to postquantum cryptography.
