As quantum computing advances, financial institutions face growing pressure to address cryptographic risk while maintaining security, compliance, and customer trust across global operations. Join IBM Consulting and Keyfactor for a discussion on quantum readiness, the risks posed by "harvest now, decrypt later" and "trust now, forge later," and why crypto-agility is critical for managing cryptographic risk in an increasingly complex global regulatory and standards landscape. We'll discuss why post-quantum cryptography is not simply a technology upgrade, but a strategic risk management challenge requiring visibility, governance, and the ability to adapt as standards and regulations evolve. Hear practical guidance on how financial institutions can assess cryptographic risk, prepare for the transition to post-quantum cryptography, and build a more resilient foundation for the future. Topics We'll Cover - Assess the quantum risks most relevant to financial services - Examine the implications of "harvest now, decrypt later" and "trust now, forge later" - Learn why crypto-agility is critical in a rapidly evolving regulatory and standards landscape - Gain practical guidance for preparing your organization for the post-quantum transition
