PQC Migration for Cloud Key Management Services and HSM Infrastructure

Full day In person or online

In-depth technical workshop for cloud security architects and key management engineers. Covers PQC migration for AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and GCP Cloud KMS alongside on-premises HSM vendors including Thales Luna and Utimaco. Addresses PKCS#11 PQC extension standards, KMIP protocol PQC support, hybrid key encapsulation for data at rest, and the sequencing of key hierarchy migration in large enterprise cloud environments.

AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and GCP Cloud KMS: PQC roadmaps and current capabilities
HSM PQC support: Thales Luna, Utimaco, and nCipher product line migration paths
PKCS#11 PQC extensions and KMIP protocol post-quantum support trajectory
Hybrid key encapsulation for data-at-rest encryption during migration periods
Key hierarchy migration sequencing: root keys, data encryption keys, and wrapping keys

Quantum Security for Hyperscale Data Centre Network Infrastructure

Half day In person or online

Covers PQC migration for data centre network security: TLS termination at load balancers, inter-data-centre WAN encryption (MACsec, IPsec), BGP session authentication, and DPDK-accelerated PQC on SmartNIC and DPU hardware. Addresses performance benchmarks for ML-KEM and ML-DSA on high-throughput network switching infrastructure and migration sequencing for internet-facing versus internal data centre network segments.

TLS PQC at load balancer scale: performance benchmarks and certificate management
Inter-data-centre WAN encryption: IPsec and MACsec PQC migration approaches
BGP session authentication under quantum threat: PQC for routing protocol security
SmartNIC and DPU hardware acceleration for PQC in high-throughput environments
Migration sequencing: internet-facing perimeter versus east-west data centre traffic

Quantum Threats to Cloud Data at Rest: Encryption Architecture and Migration

Half day In person or online

Addresses the quantum cryptographic exposure of cloud-stored data: object storage encryption, database-level encryption, and backup and archival encryption for data with long retention requirements. Covers the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat model for enterprise cloud data, the interaction between cloud provider default encryption and customer-managed key obligations, and NIST guidance on data classification for quantum migration prioritisation.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later risk for cloud-stored data: retention period and sensitivity matrix
Object storage and database encryption: customer-managed key quantum migration priorities
Backup and archival encryption: PQC for data with 10-30 year retention obligations

Quantum Technology Strategy for Cloud and Data Centre Executives

4 hours + Q&A In person or online Max 30 delegates

Executive briefing for CISOs, CTOs, and infrastructure strategy directors at cloud service providers, colocation operators, and large enterprise cloud teams. Covers the dual quantum agenda: computing applications for data centre energy optimisation and workload management alongside the quantum security obligations now driving PQC adoption across hyperscalers, regulators, and enterprise customers. Addresses competitive dynamics, customer demand signals, and investment sequencing.

Cloud and data centre quantum security obligation landscape: hyperscaler commitments and regulatory signals
Customer quantum readiness demand: what enterprise customers are beginning to require
