Quantum computing poses one of the most significant cryptographic threats of the coming decade. With the power to break widely used encryption standards, its arrival could compromise years of sensitive data unless organizations act now. This session explores the urgency of preparing for "Q-Day" and outlines how post-quantum cryptography and crypto agility can help future-proof digital infrastructure.

In this session, Pascal Reiniger, CISO at Kanton Basel-Landschaft, will share insights on:

• Why "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks pose a current risk to long-term data confidentiality;
• How to assess cryptographic exposure and develop a migration road map using risk-based heat maps and life cycle planning;
• Why crypto agility - not premature adoption of unproven algorithms - offers a practical, future-ready path to resilience.
