Quantum-Ready Cryptography (Edinburgh): What Leaders Need to know from Rhetoric to Readiness

  • CMS 20 Castle Terrace EH1 2EN United Kingdom (map)

Until recently, quantum risk sat firmly on the future horizon for most organisations, acknowledged, but assumed to be some way off.

That assumption is now changing.

Advances in high-performance computing, quantum-inspired algorithms, and large-scale simulation are compressing timelines far faster than anticipated, reshaping the threat landscape for financial services today. For organisations built on long-lived systems, trusted identities, and enduring records, this has direct implications for governance, risk, and regulatory defensibility.

This closed, CPD-aligned session, hosted for SFE members, is designed for senior Financial and Professional Services leaders who want a clear, grounded view of quantum risk, beyond headlines about encryption breaking.

Delivered by QuantumSI, part of Verity Digital, the session will explore:

  • Why quantum risk is no longer a distant event, but a present-day strategic Cyber exposure

  • How quantum-accelerated techniques are already changing attacker economics

  • Where long-lived data, identities, and platforms are most at risk

  • Practical, proportionate steps organisations can take now, without disruption

  • How to frame quantum readiness in a way that stands up to board and regulator scrutiny

The session is designed to be insight-led and discussion-based, with opportunities for follow-on one-to-one workshops for organisations wishing to explore their specific exposure in more depth.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a timely and practical discussion.
