Vendor Management

For procurement, vendor management and third-party risk staff. Learn what quantum technology and post-quantum migration mean for your industry's suppliers, earn PQCS, then set and verify supplier requirements.

Much of your migration depends on suppliers. Their products have to support the new algorithms before your teams can use them, and you are the person who asks them how and when.

After Post-Quantum Foundation, we recommend two industry courses. In the Quantum Technology course for your industry, you learn to judge suppliers’ claims about quantum computing, sensing and networking. In the Quantum-Safe overview, you learn the regulations and deadlines in your sector and the partners you have to migrate with.

With PQCS, you can assess a supplier’s technical answers yourself. In PQC Vendor Governance and Supply Chain, you tier suppliers by criticality, assess their readiness and write migration obligations into contracts.

Choose your industry below to see its Quantum Technology and Quantum-Safe courses.
