Quantum Computers will be able to break the encryption commonly used to protect networks and customer data. The telco industry needs to prepare for the Quantum era and plan for the transition towards post Quantum cryptography. This process affects the entire telecom supply chain and ecosystem: operators, network and IT vendors, integrators, standards and open-source communities. This closed door Seminar will provide perspectives from Operators, Vendors and Governments on the following areas:

  • Assessment of the risks and security threats
  • The steps which need to be taken by network operators to prepare for migration to post Quantum cryptography and future proof their investments
  • New product and service opportunities

Post Quantum Telco Network – Impact Assessment 

To address the security challenges presented by emerging quantum technologies, many countries have created national Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) initiatives.

The telecom industry needs to mobilise to define guidelines and processes for the PQC adoption to secure networks, devices and systems, given that this affects the entire telecom supply chain and ecosystem: operators, network and IT vendors, integrators, regulators, standards and open source communities.

This session is intended to analyse the dependencies and timelines for a responsible industry transition to Quantum-Safe technology.
