SUMMARY:Crypto-agility and hybrid key exchange in production – Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A free one-hour webinar from Quantum Academy and Applied Quantum on running hybrid key exchange in production\, and designing systems that can change algorithms again. \nHybrid key exchange runs a post-quantum algorithm alongside a classical one\, so the session key stays secret unless both are broken. Chrome negotiates the X25519MLKEM768 hybrid by default\, and Cloudflare terminates it at the edge. \nNational positions differ: Germany and France recommend hybrid deployments\, and Australia does not. We explain how hybrid key exchange works in TLS and VPNs\, then the design patterns that let a system change algorithms without a rebuild. \nFor security architects\, cryptography and PKI engineers\, and the platform and application teams planning post-quantum changes. \nWhat we cover\n\nHow hybrid key exchange works in TLS 1.3 and in VPNs\nWhy national guidance on hybrid deployment differs\, and how to plan for more than one position\nDesign patterns that let a system change algorithms without a rebuild\nWhat to test before you turn hybrid key exchange on in production\n\nThe format\n60 minutes\, live online from 20:00 to 21:00 UTC: about 45 minutes of teaching\, then 15 minutes for your questions. Registration is free\, and everyone who registers receives the recording. \nThe full course is Cryptographic Agility: Design and Implementation\, and engineers can go further in Hybrid Cryptographic Implementations. Dates and booking are on each course page. \nThis webinar is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice.

SUMMARY:Building a cryptographic inventory and CBOM a migration can use – Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A free one-hour webinar from Quantum Academy and Applied Quantum on building a cryptographic inventory a migration program can use\, and recording it as a cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM). \nWhen GAO reviewed the 24 major federal agencies in October\, only one had completed its inventory step. \nExecutive Order 14412 gives CISA and NIST 270 days\, to about March 19\, 2027\, to publish minimum elements for a CBOM. We cover discovery methods\, what a useful CBOM records\, and what to do when a full inventory is not possible. \nFor security architects\, cryptography and PKI engineers\, GRC teams and migration program leads. \nWhat we cover\n\nThe main discovery methods\, and what each one finds and misses\nWhat a CBOM should record for each cryptographic asset so the migration team can act on it\nHow to set inventory scope when a full inventory is not possible\nHow to prepare for the CBOM minimum elements due under Executive Order 14412\n\nThe format\n60 minutes\, live online from 17:00 to 18:00 UTC: about 45 minutes of teaching\, then 15 minutes for your questions. Registration is free\, and everyone who registers receives the recording. \nThe full course is Cryptographic Discovery\, Inventory\, and CBOM. Dates and booking are on the course page. \nThis webinar is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice.

SUMMARY:Certified Chief Quantum Officer (CCQO) Program – Live Online\, November 2026 – January 2027
DESCRIPTION:The first Chief Quantum Officer Program cohort runs live online across six Saturday sessions\, from November 2026 to January 2027. \nThe program is built for the executive who owns quantum inside an organization\, or who is about to. It covers quantum technology as a whole\, with computing\, networking\, and sensing on the opportunity side and post-quantum cryptographic migration on the risk side\, and it treats all of it as a portfolio to be funded\, governed\, and defended rather than as a set of technologies to be understood in isolation. \nAssessment is a capstone project rather than a written exam. Participants build a quantum strategy and three-year roadmap for a simulated multinational that we supply\, and two assessors from our board of instructors mark it independently against a rubric issued at enrollment. Neither assessor will have taught the cohort. Passing awards the CCQO credential. \nSession dates\nAll sessions run 14:00 to 18:00 UTC\, which is 09:00 to 13:00 New York time\, or 15:00 to 19:00 Frankfurt time. \nSaturday\, November 7\, 2026 – Reading the fieldSaturday\, November 14\, 2026 – Where the value is\, and where it isn’tSaturday\, November 21\, 2026 – Quantum readiness as an operating capabilitySaturday\, December 5\, 2026 – The risk sideSaturday\, December 12\, 2026 – Governance\, funding\, and the boardSaturday\, January 9\, 2027 – Capstone workshop \nThe break between December 12 and January 9 is deliberate\, and it is when most of the capstone work gets done. Capstone submissions are due two weeks after the final session. \nWhat is included\nAll six live sessions. The course handbook\, which is the full program written out with the instructor notes in place. Copies of Quantum Ready\, Quantum Systems Integration\, and Quantum Sovereignty. The capstone brief and marking rubric\, issued at enrollment. Independent assessment by two members of the board of instructors\, with results inside ten business days. On a pass\, the CCQO credential and a verifiable badge at ccqo.pro. \nCohort and confirmation\nThis cohort runs as scheduled. The eight-participant minimum that applies to other scheduled Quantum Academy courses does not apply here\, and the dates above are confirmed at the point of sale rather than 21 days out. \nPlaces are limited to keep the cohort small enough for every participant to present their capstone work and take live critique in the final session. \nJoining instructions and the capstone brief go out on enrollment rather than seven days before the start\, so participants can begin reading immediately. \nThe CCQO is a private professional credential issued by Quantum Academy\, a trade name of Post-Quantum Institute. It is not a government-issued license\, an accredited degree\, or academic credit\, and holding it does not guarantee employment\, promotion\, regulatory approval\, or any other specific outcome. \nThe full session outline\, the capstone terms\, and pricing for every format are on the Certified Chief Quantum Officer (CCQO) Program page. \n\nThis program is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice. \n\n

SUMMARY:Briefing the board on quantum risk: the questions directors ask – Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A free one-hour webinar from Quantum Academy and Applied Quantum for board members and the executives who brief them on quantum risk. \nDirectors decide four things about quantum risk: exposure\, timing\, budget and accountability. We go through the questions boards ask about each\, with answers that neither overstate nor understate the threat. \nRegulators have already set two of the dates directors need. The EU roadmap expects high-risk systems migrated by 2030\, and US federal high-value systems need post-quantum key establishment by the end of 2030. \nFor board directors\, audit and risk committee members\, CEOs\, and the CISOs and CROs who report to them. \nWhat we cover\n\nThe questions directors ask about exposure\, and the evidence that answers them\nHow to set the timing of a migration against regulatory deadlines rather than a predicted Q-Day\nWhat the board should expect to fund in the first year\, and how to judge the request\nWho owns the migration\, and what the board should hear from that owner each quarter\n\nThe format\n60 minutes\, live online from 20:00 to 21:00 UTC: about 45 minutes of teaching\, then 15 minutes for your questions. Registration is free\, and everyone who registers receives the recording. \nThe full courses are Quantum Security for Boards and PQC Migration: Building the Business Case. Dates and booking are on each course page. \nThis webinar is educational and informational\, and is not legal\, compliance\, or engineering advice.

SUMMARY:Q-Day estimates in 2026: what changed and what didn't – Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:A free one-hour webinar from Quantum Academy and Applied Quantum on the 2026 estimates for breaking RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography\, and what they mean for a migration plan. \nPublished estimates for breaking RSA-2048 fell from about 20 million physical qubits in 2019 to under one million in 2025. In February 2026\, an Iceberg Quantum simulation put the figure under 100\,000. In March\, Google put 256-bit elliptic curves under 500\,000 physical qubits and set 2029 as its own migration deadline. \nIn October\, Google demonstrated magic-state cultivation on its Willow processor\, a technique the 2025 RSA estimate relies on. Quantinuum showed logical errors falling as its color codes grow on Helios. Neither result lowers the estimates. Willow has 105 physical qubits\, and Helios has 98. \nFor CISOs\, security architects and risk leaders who need to explain the 2026 numbers to a board or a budget committee. \nWhat we cover\n\nHow the qubit estimates for RSA-2048 and 256-bit elliptic curves fell between 2019 and 2026\, and which assumptions changed each time\nWhat Google and Quantinuum demonstrated in October\, and what they announced\nWhy physical and logical qubit counts are not comparable\, and how to read a claim of either\nWhat the new estimates change in a migration plan\, and what they leave unchanged\n\nThe format\n60 minutes\, live online from 15:00 to 16:00 UTC: about 45 minutes of teaching\, then 15 minutes for your questions. Registration is free\, and everyone who registers receives the recording. \nThe full course on quantum risk for security leaders is Quantum Risk for CISOs.
