HPE Airheads Webinar: Post-Quantum Cryptography: What is PQC? Is it an issue? What can be done?

Network engineers will leave this webinar with a practical understanding of where post-quantum cryptography intersects with the network: TLS, VPNs, PKI, certificates, device authentication, encrypted traffic, and infrastructure dependencies. Rather than treating PQC as a distant theoretical issue, the session will help engineers recognize why today’s encrypted data and long-lived systems may already be exposed to “harvest now, decrypt later” risk, and what that means for network architecture, refresh cycles, vendor roadmaps, and operational planning.

Attendees will gain a clear starting point for action: how to identify where vulnerable cryptography is used, prioritize systems that protect sensitive or long-retention data, engage vendors on PQC readiness, and plan for migration to quantum-resistant standards without disrupting production environments. The goal is to give network teams a realistic, infrastructure-focused view of what needs attention now, what can be phased over time, and how to prepare their networks for a secure post-quantum transition.
