Quantum Security & PQC

Post-quantum cryptography taught by the people running migrations: discovery and CBOM, algorithm selection, architecture, validation, and the regulatory deadlines already set.

Quantum security is the largest domain in the catalog, and the one with dates attached. CNSA 2.0, NSM-10 and the European timelines set deadlines that hold whatever year a cryptographically relevant quantum computer appears. Any organization with long-lived data or long-lived signing keys has work to do before those dates. We teach that work the way it runs, and we say plainly what is still uncertain.

Start with Post-Quantum Foundation if the vocabulary is new. The Post-Quantum Track then certifies five roles. PQCS covers the specialist who finds and inventories cryptography. PQCM covers the manager who runs the program, PQCA the architect who designs the target state, and PQCV the validator who proves it works. PQCX is awarded automatically to anyone holding PQCM, PQCA and PQCV at once. Technical courses handle specific problems, among them Cryptographic Discovery, Inventory and CBOM, Cryptographic Agility, PQC Migration for DevSecOps, and PQC Migration: Executing the Waves. Thirteen sector courses apply the same method to financial services, healthcare, energy, government and telecommunications, and twelve of them have a full-day intensive for teams ready to build a plan.
