Quantum computing is emerging as a significant cybersecurity challenge for the BFSI sector, forcing organizations to rethink how they secure sensitive data, encryption systems and digital trust frameworks. As advances in quantum capabilities threaten to weaken traditional cryptographic algorithms, enterprises must begin preparing for a transition toward post-quantum cryptography and crypto-agile security architectures. With regulators, governments and global standards bodies already outlining migration road maps, CISOs are being tasked with assessing cryptographic risks, modernizing legacy infrastructure and building phased quantum-readiness strategies to protect critical systems, customer data and operational resilience in the years ahead.

This session, led by Ramesh Gurram, CISO at BSE, will cover:

• Understanding the quantum threat landscape and its impact on encryption, digital signatures and secure communications;
• Building phased post-quantum cryptography road maps through crypto inventory, risk assessment and hybrid migration strategies;
• Strengthening crypto agility, legacy modernization and governance frameworks to prepare enterprises for quantum-ready security.
