Quantum Academy
A four-hour course for leaders who approve PQC budgets, on the threat, the deadlines, the costs and how to judge a migration plan
CHICAGO, October 9, 2026 – Quantum Academy will teach Quantum Security for Executives, a four-hour course for senior leaders on quantum security exposure, live online on November 2, 2026, from 15:00 to 19:00 UTC for participants in the Americas. A live online seat costs US$599.
The course is written for CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, vice presidents of engineering and senior IT leaders, and for risk officers and compliance leaders who need the security context before they take on PQC governance. It requires no technical background.
Participants learn to separate headline quantum computing milestones from a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, and genuine quantum risk from quantum fear, uncertainty and doubt. The course covers the deadlines already set, including the CNSA 2.0 acquisition gate for US national security systems in January 2027, and what a PQC migration costs in each phase.
The final module covers how to tell a credible migration program from a vendor-driven one, and includes a board-briefing toolkit for presenting quantum risk and migration status to a board.
Participants receive the course handbook, a PDF copy of Quantum Ready, Marin Ivezic’s book on organizational readiness on which the course is based, and a certificate of completion.
A session for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific follows on November 23, 2026, from 07:00 to 11:00 UTC. The course page has the full outline and a justification letter for internal approval, and teams can request private training at training@quantumacademy.com.
