Title: Quantum Shockwave: Cryptographic Threats and the Battle for Secure Communications Abstraction : Quantum computing is creating a fast‑approaching disruption point where current cryptographic systems can no longer protect military networks, critical infrastructure, or command‑and‑control communications. With Harvest‑Now‑Decrypt‑Later (HNDL) operations already targeting long‑lived sensitive data, defence organisations face growing exposure as Q‑Day draws nearer. This session outlines how Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and quantum‑resilient architectures can strengthen cyber resilience, safeguard critical infrastructure, and ensure secure communications across the future battlespace. It highlights practical steps for transitioning to PQC, protecting high‑value data, and maintaining operational trust in a post‑cryptographic world. Key takeway tips: Quantum risk is already active through HNDL attacks targeting long‑lived military and critical‑infrastructure data. Q‑Day will break today’s crypto, making current command‑and‑control communications unsafe. PQC adoption must start now to avoid rushed, insecure transitions later. Critical infrastructure becomes a prime target without quantum‑resilient protection. Cryptographic agility is essential to maintain trusted communications in future operations.
