Quantum computing is no longer a distant risk, and for many organisations the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is already underway.
Against an evolving regulatory backdrop, and with increasing focus from authorities such as the Financial Conduct Authority, firms need to start preparing now.
Join Simmons & Simmons for an expert-led webinar exploring the data security and cryptography challenges arising in the quantum era, and what organisations should be doing in practice.
This session brings together perspectives spanning legislative, regulatory, legal and technical implementation, including:
- Luke Vile, Technical Specialist in Technology Resilience & Cyber at the Financial Conduct Authority
- Lord Holmes of Richmond, member of the House of Lords and leading voice on technology, innovation and regulation
- Andrew Joint, Partner and Head of the Quantum Group at Simmons & Simmons
- Olga Mamlyga, CEO of Quantum Scouts ApS
Together, the panel will explore:
- How PQC is evolving into a regulatory and supervisory priority, including emerging expectations from regulators such as the FCA
- The UK legislative and policy landscape, and how it is likely to develop
- The legal risks linked to PQC transition, including data protection, cyber and liability considerations
- The practical challenges of implementation, and how organisations are approaching PQC readiness today
Designed for in-house legal teams, risk professionals and technology leaders, particularly in financial services, this session will provide a joined-up view across regulatory, legal and practical considerations, with a focus on what matters in practice, not theory.
