The UAE has taken a major step in cybersecurity with the new Cryptography Executive Regulation, requiring government entities to adopt quantum-resistant measures to safeguard digital assets from emerging quantum threats.
In this practical session, QuantumGate will demystify the regulation, outline its impact across sectors, and guide you through the first steps of becoming quantum-safe—starting with identifying and assessing your current cryptographic assets.
We’ll cover the following:
All attendees will receive QuantumGate’s Quantum Transition Playbook, a hands-on guide to support your organization’s transformation.
| Opening presentation | The quantum threat to your business’ data. |
| Fireside chat | An expert discussion on key transition challenges and how leaders can best prepare. |
| Live Q&A | Ask our panel of experts your questions. |
