CQSF has partnered with ISACA Curaçao to bring quantum awareness and readiness to this year's program. Thursday's dedicated quantum sessions cover emerging risks, cybersecurity implications and practical steps to prepare your organization.
From cryptography fundamentals to your first hands-on Cryptographic Baseline Assessment. Led by Prof. Dr. Christian Schaffner and Dimitri van Esch, the training combines post-quantum cryptography, crypto-agility and practical exercises built around a realistic fictional bank case.
Designed for IT and security professionals, auditors, risk and compliance officers and consultants. No cryptography background required. Delivered in English, with a maximum of 20 participants.
Thanks to the cooperation agreement with the Quantum Gateway Foundation, the trainers teach without a fee, so participant fees go toward the costs of Quantum Week. Register
