Securing Data in a Post-Quantum World

What to Expect

As local governments modernize data platforms and adopt AI, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve. One of the next major shifts is post-quantum cryptography—the transition to encryption capable of withstanding future quantum computing attacks.

Building on the foundation established throughout our Data & AI Webinar Series, this session will examine what quantum readiness means for public sector organizations. We'll discuss emerging standards, identify where quantum risks are most likely to impact local government, and share practical strategies to begin preparing today without overhauling your existing environment.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Explain, in plain terms, why post-quantum cryptography matters and what 'harvest now, decrypt later' risk means for their organization.
• Identify the current state of NIST post-quantum standards and what near-term regulatory and procurement signals to watch.
• Recognize where quantum risk is most likely to surface within their own systems, vendors, and data holdings.
• Take away a practical, low-disruption starting roadmap for building quantum readiness over time.
