DESCRIPTION:The IEEE North Saskatchewan Section Computer Chapter and Circui
 ts and Systems\, Signal Processing\, Communications Joint Chapter is pleas
 ed to present an essential seminar on the future of global digital securit
 y by Elias Hassani.\nThe advent of quantum computing represents one of the
  most significant shifts in the history of digital security. While quantum
  supremacy offers revolutionary potential for optimization and discovery\,
  it also creates an existential threat to the encryption standards—such 
 as RSA and ECC—that currently protect the global economy.\n\nThis IEEE s
 eminar moves beyond the technical "bits and bytes" to address the strategi
 c and economic imperatives of transitioning to Post-Quantum Cryptography (
 PQC).\n\nKey Discussion Points\n\n-\nThe "Store Now\, Decrypt Later" Threa
 t: Understanding why your organization's sensitive data is at risk today f
 rom future quantum capabilities.\n-\nThe Business Impact of Migration: Ana
 lyzing the costs of "crypto-agility" versus the high risks of legacy syste
 m failure.\n-\nGlobal Standardization Update: A look at the NIST PQC stand
 ards and how they will reshape compliance and regulatory landscapes.\n-\nR
 isk Mitigation Strategies: Practical steps for leadership to audit digital
  assets and prepare for a seamless quantum-resistant transition.\n\nWhy At
 tend?\nDesigned for technology leaders\, security architects\, and executi
 ve stakeholders\, this session provides a roadmap for future-proofing your
  organization's data integrity. Attendees will gain a clear understanding 
 of the quantum timeline and the competitive advantage of becoming "Quantum
 -Ready."\n\nEvent Details\n\n- Date: Thursday\, May 7\, 2026\n- Time: 5 pm
