SUMMARY:A Pragmatic Strategy Behind PQC: 7 Decisions Every Enterprise Must 
 Make Before Migration
DESCRIPTION:Organizations are rushing to inventory certificates\, evaluate 
 tooling\, and launch discovery projects in preparation for post-quantum cry
 ptography (PQC). But these activities often begin before the organization h
 as answered the architectural and governance questions that determine what 
 should actually change. The biggest obstacle to PQC readiness is no longer 
 the cryptography\; it is making the right organizational decisions before t
 echnology choices lock in years of unnecessary cost and complexity.\n\nThis
  session presents a practical decision framework built around the seven str
 ategic choices every enterprise should make before investing in PQC tooling
  or migration efforts. Rather than another discussion of algorithms or migr
 ation mechanics\, attendees will learn how to establish a clear\, executabl
 e roadmap using existing PKI investments\, governance processes\, and techn
 ical teams. The result is a strategy that reduces unnecessary spending\, av
 oids premature implementation decisions\, and creates a foundation for true
  cryptographic agility.\n\nDrawing from real-world enterprise PKI moderniza
 tion engagements\, this session demonstrates how organizations can prioriti
 ze business risk\, define crypto agility objectives\, align policy and arch
 itecture\, and determine where inventories\, assessments\, and tooling actu
 ally fit within an overall PQC strategy. It covers why certificate inventor
 y does not equal PQC readiness and where most programs go wrong\, how to al
 ign business risk\, governance\, crypto agility\, and PKI architecture befo
 re selecting technologies\, and how to determine when tooling adds value an
 d when it simply creates additional cost and complexity.\n\nAttendees will 
 leave with a vendor-neutral framework they can immediately apply to reduce 
 unnecessary spending\, avoid premature implementation decisions\, and build
  a foundation for long-term cryptographic agility.\n\n\nSpeakers: Mark Coop
