Quantum-Safe Government and Defense Intensive Scheduled for November 4–5

An eight-hour workshop, taught live online in two four-hour sessions, in which agencies and defense suppliers turn CNSA 2.0 and NSM-10 obligations into a dated migration plan

CHICAGO, October 14, 2026 – Quantum Academy will teach the Quantum-Safe Government and Defense Intensive, an eight-hour workshop for government agencies and the defense industrial base, live online on November 4 and 5, 2026. The workshop takes place in two four-hour sessions, from 15:00 to 19:00 UTC each day, for participants in the Americas.

A live online seat costs US$1,499. The intensive is written for agency security architects and CIO staff, defense industrial base security leads, contracting and acquisition officers, and the system owners who will deliver against the milestones.

CNSA 2.0 sets dated milestones, and NSM-10 directs inventory and planning. The CNSA 2.0 acquisition gate of January 2027 applies to suppliers of national security systems through contract flow-down, depending on the systems and clauses in each acquisition.

“The contracting officers are there because much of what the workshop produces is procurement language, the requirements that will end up in contracts,” said Marin Ivezic, founder of Quantum Academy.

Participants bring their own systems inventory and contract obligations. They map CNSA 2.0 requirements and dates onto the systems they own, plan across classified and unclassified environments, and trace contractual flow-down to the suppliers it binds.

By the end, each participant has a system inventory mapped to CNSA 2.0 milestone dates, a flow-down obligation register for their supplier base, draft acquisition and contract language, and a milestone-dated roadmap with named system owners. Participants also receive the course handbook, a PDF copy of Quantum Ready, Marin Ivezic’s book on PQC migration, and a certificate of completion.

Quantum Academy recommends its Quantum-Safe Government and Defense course as preparation, though participants can enroll without it. The course page has the full outline and a justification letter for internal approval, and teams can request private training at training@quantumacademy.com.
