DigiCert Announces Speaker Lineup for Third Annual World Quantum Readiness Day
DigiCert announced the speaker lineup for its third annual World Quantum Readiness Day, taking place virtually on September 17, 2026. Bringing together experts from across cryptography, cybersecurity, and technology, the event will focus on how organizations can move from quantum readiness planning to action.
This year’s theme, “From Blueprint to Build,” covers practical approaches to PQC migration, changes in global regulations and standards, common PQC challenges, and lessons from organizations putting readiness plans into practice.
Dr. Amit Sinha, CEO of DigiCert, said, “The shift to post-quantum cryptography is a significant undertaking, and the time to make tangible progress is now. Organizations don’t need to solve everything at once. By taking focused steps today, they can reduce risk, build momentum and create a stronger foundation for a quantum-safe future.”
