Sharon Stephens and Judy Furlong of Dell Technologies break down what post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration really means and how government executive orders and directives can serve as your blueprint. The timeline matters more than ever: the arrival of quantum computers capable of breaking today’s classic asymmetric algorithms has shifted from around 2035 to roughly 2030, raising the stakes for immediate action. Sharon and Judy explain the risks driving that urgency, and give the audience a practical starting point for their migration. They also show how guidance from NIST, CISA, and executive orders, while legally binding for government agencies, offers a valuable security roadmap for private sector and critical infrastructure organizations worldwide. Watch to see how you can start building your PQC migration plan today, well before quantum-capable computers arrive.
