Harvest Now, Forge Later: The Other Half of the Quantum Threat

Most post-quantum planning focuses on the data an attacker could steal today and decrypt years from now. That's only half the exposure. The other half is what happens when the same capability lets someone reproduce a signature, issue a certificate your systems trust or sign code your infrastructure installs without question. Call it harvest now, forge later.

Join Axiad for an insightful webinar to take a deep dive into Axiad's PQC Playbook series, featuring insights from Bassam Al-Khalidi, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Axiad and Saqib Ahmad, an industry expert in network observability, to engage in a discussion about what post-quantum migration looks like in a large environment.

Explore how cryptographic inventory helps uncover hidden risks and create a practical roadmap to quantum resilience. During this candid conversation, you will learn:
  • Why signature forgery is a longer-tailed exposure than data decryption
  • What a cryptographic bill of materials needs beyond a list of certificates
  • The two ways migration programs most often stall
  • How to decide what to address first when the inventory runs to millions of assets
  • What recovery time means for a trust chain and how far most organizations are from it
