Transforming Classical Encryption to Post-Quantum Encryption for Financial Services

Quantum computing is set to break today’s encryption, creating urgent risks for financial institutions. This session explores how organizations can transition from classical cryptography to post-quantum security using hybrid approaches, improved cryptographic visibility, and emerging compliance frameworks.
Revan cover practical steps to become quantum-ready without disrupting existing systems, with a focus on balancing security, compliance, and operational continuity.

What you’ll learn:
• Why the quantum threat is already relevant today, not just in the future
• How classical encryption (RSA, ECC) will be impacted
• Why hybrid post-quantum cryptography is the safest transition path
• The role of cryptographic visibility (CBOM) in managing risk
• How regulations like DORA and NIS2 are accelerating adoption
• How early adoption can strengthen security and create competitive advantage

About the Speaker: Revan Ande is a security researcher and founder of RivicQ, a startup focused on advancing next-generation cryptographic solutions. With a strong interest in post-quantum security and its impact on financial systems, he works on bridging the gap between classical encryption methods and quantum-resilient technologies.
He actively shares insights on emerging security challenges and innovations, with a focus on making post-quantum concepts practical and actionable for modern organizations.
