PQC Migration Planning and Cryptographic Inventory

Half day In person or online

A structured programme for security architects and CISOs leading post-quantum cryptography migrations. Covers how to build a cryptographic inventory across enterprise systems, prioritise assets by risk exposure, and produce a roadmap that aligns with NIST PQC standards and regulatory timelines.

Building a complete cryptographic asset inventory across systems and protocols
Prioritising migration candidates by data sensitivity and threat exposure
NIST PQC standards: ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA and what each replaces
Dependency mapping: TLS, PKI, code signing, and secure messaging stacks
Producing a migration roadmap with executive sign-off criteria

Quantum Threat Modelling for Enterprise Security

Half day In person or online

Practical threat modelling methodology for security teams assessing quantum-era risk. Covers cryptanalytic timelines, attack surface analysis, and how to integrate quantum threat vectors into existing STRIDE and PASTA frameworks. Designed for security architects and red team leads.

Cryptanalytic timeline estimates: when RSA and ECC become vulnerable
Integrating quantum threat vectors into STRIDE and PASTA models
Attack surface analysis: identifying quantum-vulnerable entry points
Threat intelligence sources for quantum-era adversary behaviour
Communicating quantum risk to boards and non-technical stakeholders

Quantum-Safe Network Architecture

Half day In person or online

Network security teams learn how to redesign perimeter and internal architectures for the quantum era. Covers TLS 1.3 hybrid modes, quantum-safe VPN configurations, certificate lifecycle management under PQC, and the practical engineering steps to retrofit existing infrastructure.

TLS 1.3 hybrid key exchange: combining classical and PQC algorithms
Quantum-safe VPN: IPsec with ML-KEM and configuration requirements
PKI migration: certificate authority updates, key sizes, and rollout planning
Zero-trust architecture considerations under post-quantum cryptography
Retrofitting on-premises versus cloud-native network stacks

QRNG and QKD for Cyber Defence Applications

Half day In person or online

Covers the operational and technical case for quantum random number generation and quantum key distribution in defence and critical infrastructure contexts. Examines vendor landscape, deployment models, and where these technologies add genuine security value versus where software-based PQC is sufficient.

QRNG: how quantum entropy sources compare to CSPRNG in practice
QKD network topologies: point-to-point, trusted node, and satellite links
Standards and certification: ETSI, ITU-T, and government procurement criteria
Integration with existing key management infrastructure
Decision framework: when QRNG and QKD justify the deployment cost

Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later Risk Assessment

Half day In person or online

Addresses one of the most immediate quantum threats: adversaries collecting encrypted data today for decryption once cryptographically relevant quantum computers exist. Covers data classification, retention risk scoring, and practical mitigations including forward secrecy and early PQC adoption.

Understanding the harvest-now-decrypt-later attack model and timeline estimates
Data classification: identifying assets at risk from long-term interception
Retention risk scoring: mapping data sensitivity to expected quantum timelines
Forward secrecy implementation across communications infrastructure
Early PQC adoption as a near-term mitigation for high-value data

Quantum Incident Response and Recovery Planning

Half day In person or online

Prepares security operations and incident response teams for quantum-era breach scenarios. Covers detection of cryptographic compromise, playbook design for PQC-related failures, key revocation at scale, and how to update business continuity plans for a post-quantum threat environment.

Detecting cryptographic compromise: indicators and forensic approaches
IR playbook design for PQC algorithm failures and key compromise
Mass key revocation procedures across PKI and symmetric systems
Business continuity planning for quantum-triggered outages
Tabletop exercise structure for quantum incident scenarios
