"The Changing Face of Big Hunting"

| Live Webinar | Thursday, May 14, 2026 | 2:00pm EDT |

Join Michael Dascal, VP of Quantum Technology, in conversation with moderator Daniel Cuthbert for an illuminating discussion on the journey from quantum security research to practical implementation in financial services. Drawing from five years of hands-on experience with post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum key distribution (QKD), and quantum-resilient technologies, this fireside chat will explore how research teams can effectively collaborate with enterprise security to prepare for the quantum future.

 

Michael will share insights on the quantum threat and the technologies being developed to mitigate it, including the path to PQC migration, the strengths and weaknesses of QKD, creating safe testing environments for quantum security implementations, the critical middleware solutions enabling quantum-secure operations in financial systems, and strategies for navigating timeline uncertainties—whether quantum computing's impact is 5 years or 75 years away. The discussion will also address the vulnerability landscape that is emerging as financial institutions need to migrate to quantum-resistant systems (and as malicious actors potentially start harvesting encrypted data for later decryption), exploring governance frameworks and security protocols to mitigate these risks. Additionally, Michael will highlight how financial institutions can develop adaptive strategies amid technological ambiguity while building cost-effective quantum-resilient infrastructure.
