Round Table: What technologies can help mitigate the quantum threat? How can businesses adopt them?

This session explores how close we are to Q-Day and the breakthroughs and warning signs businesses should monitor. Experts will discuss how Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) complement each other, their technological maturity and readiness for enterprise adoption. The discussion will cover implementation strategies, integration with existing IT and network infrastructure, hardware requirements, operational performance, interoperability, and the role of telecom providers. It will also examine access to public QKD infrastructure, deployment challenges and affordable business models for SMEs, concluding with practical recommendations to help organizations take their first steps towards quantum-safe security.
