Quantum computing presents a fundamental challenge to the cryptographic foundations organizations rely on to protect sensitive data, secure communications, and maintain digital trust. While the full impact of quantum computing may still be years away, the decisions security leaders make today will determine how prepared their organizations are for the transition.

Sandip Dholakia, Advisor to the Security, Compliance & Trust Officer and Chair of the Cryptography Innovation Hub at SAP, will explore what CISOs and security teams need to understand about quantum readiness and why preparation can no longer be treated as a distant priority. He will examine the emerging risks to existing encryption standards, the challenges of transitioning to post-quantum cryptography, and the practical steps organizations can take to assess their exposure and develop a roadmap for quantum resilience. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how to translate an evolving technological threat into actionable security priorities.
