What, When, and Why: The Global Regulatory and Standards Landscape
As quantum security moves from research into action, standards will ensure interoperability and governments will add compliance requirements. During this session, experts will summarize the latest developments from global standards bodies, and recent government mandates, including Executive Order 14412. We’ll clarify what is ready to use today, what is still evolving, and what organizations should watch next. We’ll also address Merkle Tree Certificates: where they fit, why they matter, and how they might impact your organization.
