Title: Quantum Computing Threatscape: Strategies for Security in a New Dimension

Abstract
Are quantum computers a real threat to cryptography and information security? How safe are your data and applications against these threats? It takes many years for a conventional computer to crack an RSA 2048 prime number factor encryption, but a powerful quantum computer can crack it in a few hours. How can you protect your data and applications if this becomes a reality?

Join Sandip Dholakia, a cryptographer, an author, and a cybersecurity professional, for an evening of networking and information to find out if quantum computers are a real threat to cryptography and how to prepare your data and applications for post-quantum cryptography.
