DESCRIPTION:As quantum computing matures\, the vulnerability of current cry
 ptographic standards poses a systemic risk to global digital infrastructur
 e. Q-FENCE\, a transformative initiative funded by the Horizon Europe Rese
 arch Programme\, addresses this by developing a robust hybrid framework th
 at integrates classical\, quantum\, and post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) t
 echniques. By establishing a dual-layer security model\, Q-FENCE ensures d
 igital sovereignty and data protection across critical sectors\, including
  finance\, healthcare\, and satellite networks.\n\nIn this session\, we wi
 ll provide a high-level overview of the Q-FENCE project and the strategic 
 roadmap required to bring quantum-resistant solutions to real-world applic
 ations. We will explore the critical role of innovation management and qua
 lity oversight in bridging the gap between theoretical cryptographic primi
 tives and scalable\, compliant deployments. Furthermore\, we will discuss 
 how the project navigates the transition from research to production-ready
  environments.\n\nKey highlights include:\nThe Q-FENCE Roadmap: Managing K
 PIs and stakeholder feedback to refine a framework that supports secure mu
 lti-party computation (MPC) and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).\n\nComplia
 nce & Resilience: Aligning PQC protocols with industry regulations such as
  GDPR and HIPAA to ensure "compliance-by-design."\n\nEcosystem Integration
 : Best practices for software resilience in open-source environments\, inc
 luding the development of PQC-enhanced boot processes within the CentOS St
 ream ecosystem.\n\nScaling for the Future: Exploring SaaS models and repli
 cation strategies for the phased adoption of quantum-ready security in div
 erse digital infrastructures.\n\nThis talk is of particular interest to se
 curity architects\, infrastructure leads\, and innovation managers tasked 
 with future-proofing sensitive data against the emerging quantum threat.
