Network engineers will leave this webinar with a practical understanding of where post-quantum cryptography intersects with the network: TLS, VPNs, PKI, certificates, device authentication, encrypted traffic, and infrastructure dependencies. Rather than treating PQC as a distant theoretical issue, the session will help engineers recognize why today’s encrypted data and long-lived systems may already be exposed to “harvest now, decrypt later” risk, and what that means for network architecture, refresh cycles, vendor roadmaps, and operational planning.
Attendees will gain a clear starting point for action:
- How to identify where vulnerable cryptography is used
- Prioritize systems that protect sensitive or long-retention data
- Engage vendors on PQC readiness
- Plan for migration to quantum-resistant standards without disrupting production environments.
The goal is to give network teams a realistic, infrastructure-focused view of what needs attention now, what can be phased over time, and how to prepare their networks for a secure post-quantum transition.
