Security Leader

For CISOs, their deputies and heads of security who answer for quantum risk. Start with the threat and the funding case, then earn PQCS and PQCM and take the specialist courses for your industry and your AI systems.

In Quantum Risk for CISOs, you assess when the quantum threat applies to your own data and which deadlines your regulators have set. In PQC Migration: Building the Business Case, you turn that assessment into a funding request your executive team can approve.

Next come the certifications. PQCS validates that you know the technical work your team will do. PQCM validates that you can govern the migration program, and it requires an active PQCS. PQCS training requires the Post-Quantum Foundation certificate of completion.

We end with two specialist courses. In the intensive for your industry, you draft a migration plan and a year-one roadmap from your own records or from a sample organization we provide. In Quantum-Safe AI Systems, you bring AI models, training data and inference traffic into the same migration. Choose your industry below to see which intensive we run for it.
