SUMMARY:Post-Quantum Foundation – In-Person\, Zurich\, November 2026
DESCRIPTION:The half-day entry point to post-quantum cryptography: what changes\, why it matters now\, and the vocabulary every later course assumes. \nBuilt for those who need to understand PQC well enough to contribute to organizational discussions and planning\, who are evaluating whether to pursue formal PQC certification\, and who want to assess their organization’s quantum exposure at a conceptual level. \nWhat you will cover\n\nExplain the quantum threat to current cryptography using the HNDL (harvest-now-decrypt-later) and TNFL (trust-now-forge-later) threat models\nDistinguish between quantum computing milestones (quantum advantage\, logical qubits) and a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC)\nIdentify the finalized NIST post-quantum standards\nDescribe the phases of a PQC migration using the PQC Migration Framework\nAssess quantum threat timelines using evidence-based reasoning rather than vendor marketing\nIdentify the regulatory and market drivers creating immediate urgency\n\nThe format\nHalf day\, 4 hours. Included: Course handbook\, refreshments\, certificate of completion. \nFull outline\, modules\, and delivery details are on the course page\, together with a justification letter you can adapt if you need internal approval to attend: Post-Quantum Foundation. \nOur confirmation guarantee. This course needs eight participants.

SUMMARY:Quantum-Safe Financial Services Intensive – In-Person\, Zurich\, April 2027
DESCRIPTION:A full-day intensive on quantum-safe transformation in financial services: regulatory drivers\, cryptographic estate discovery\, and migration sequencing for banking infrastructure. \nSecurity leaders and architects\, cryptography and HSM engineers\, regulatory and compliance leads\, program managers\, and the risk staff who will sign the plan. They work at banks\, broker-dealers\, asset managers\, insurers\, and market infrastructure operators. Send a mixed group from one institution. The engineer who runs the HSM estate rarely owns the regulatory map\, and you need both people to build the plan. If you work on card payments as an issuer\, acquirer\, processor\, or scheme\, the Quantum-Safe Payments Intensive is the working day for your estate. \nWhat you will cover\n\nMap your institution’s cryptographic estate\, including the places where inventories under-count it\nConnect DORA\, PCI DSS 12.3.3\, the G7 Cyber Expert Group phases\, NIST IR 8547 deadlines\, and your national supervisor’s expectations to concrete program phases\nPrioritize migration scope by harvest-now exposure and system criticality\nPlan HSM and key-management modernization\, covering firmware-upgradeable versus replacement units\, FIPS validation gaps\, and dual-key operation during the hybrid period\nBuild a counterparty engagement plan for interbank messaging\, schemes\, custodians\, and market infrastructure\, aligned to SWIFT’s migration window\nPlan around the performance of post-quantum signatures at transaction volume\, using the results of settlement-system benchmarking\n\nThe format\n1 day\, 8 hours. Included: Course handbook\, refreshments\, certificate of completion. \nFull outline\, modules\, and delivery details are on the course page\, together with a justification letter you can adapt if you need internal approval to attend: Quantum-Safe Financial Services Intensive. \nOur confirmation guarantee.

SUMMARY:Quantum-Safe Pharma Intensive – In-Person\, Zurich\, April 2027
DESCRIPTION:A full-day workshop for pharma and biotech teams. Work validation\, record retention\, and trading-partner constraints into a migration plan ready for quality review. \nIT quality and computerized system validation leads\, manufacturing and laboratory systems owners\, serialization and supply chain leads\, regulatory operations\, and CISOs and security architects who will own the plan. Send a mixed group from one company. The person who owns the validation master plan rarely owns the TLS configuration or the trading-partner credentials. Bring at least one person from quality assurance. Many of the sequencing decisions in this workshop are change control decisions. If you run a health system or build medical devices\, the Quantum-Safe Healthcare Intensive is the working day for your estate. \nWhat you will cover\n\nBuild a cryptographic inventory from your list of GxP systems and their validation records\, and mark what you control against what a vendor\, regulator\, or trading partner controls\nClassify a cryptographic change by GxP risk\, choose the testing and evidence your change control procedure requires\, and explain the choice to an inspector\nDesign validated systems so you can change an algorithm once\, in qualified infrastructure\, and regression-test the applications that depend on it\nPlan how signed records stay verifiable through retention periods of 25 years or more\, without breaking audit trails or ALCOA+ expectations\nMap the cryptography you depend on and cannot change yourself\, from FDA and EMA submission gateways to DSCSA trading-partner credentials and serialization data standards\nWrite post-quantum and crypto-agility clauses into supplier contracts and quality agreements with contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs)\, and add matching entries to user requirements specifications\n\nThe format\n1 day\, 8 hours. Included: Course handbook\, refreshments\, certificate of completion. \nFull outline\, modules\, and delivery details are on the course page\, together with a justification letter you can adapt if you need internal approval to attend: Quantum-Safe Pharma Intensive. \nOur confirmation guarantee.
