QCrypt Canada + IBM Executive Briefing:
"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later"
Changes the Encryption Timeline
Sensitive financial data and encrypted communications captured today may remain vulnerable long before most organizations expect post-quantum migration requirements to arrive.Join IBM and QCrypt for a practical discussion on cryptographic visibility, readiness planning, and long-life data exposure.
Post-quantum readiness starts before migration
Organizations are beginning to evaluate where cryptographic exposure exists today, what data remains sensitive the longest, and how to approach crypto agility planning.
Cryptographic Exposure
Identify where encryption dependencies exist across enterprise environments.
Crypto Agility
Understand why long-life systems create migration complexity over time.
Readiness Planning
Evaluate practical approaches to prioritization and phased transition planning.
Featured Speakers
John J. Blair
President & CEO
QCrypt Canada
John brings decades of experience across cryptography, secure systems, and enterprise technology leadership. His work focuses on helping organizations understand real cryptographic risk, evaluate long-life systems, and approach post-quantum readiness pragmatically.
Walid Rjaibi, PhD, CISSP
Distinguished Engineer & Chief Architect for Quantum Safe IBM Research
Walid leads IBM’s Quantum Safe initiatives focused on helping enterprises identify cryptographic exposure, prioritize risk, and prepare for post-quantum migration strategies. He has held senior IBM leadership roles across cryptography and data security and is co-author of Becoming Quantum Safe.
"Harvest now, decrypt later" changes the planning horizon
Encrypted financial and insurance data captured today may remain vulnerable once quantum decryption capabilities mature.Organizations are increasingly evaluating cryptographic discovery, crypto agility, and migration readiness strategies supported by solutions such as IBM Quantum Safe.Long-life data and infrastructure decisions made today may remain exposed for years.
