Harden your IT estate and cloud workloads for crypto-agility. This track covers endpoints, networks, identity and infrastructure alongside quantum-safe key management and KMS migration across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Your Cloud's Cryptography Is Changing Under You
TLS, SSH, VPNs, identity tokens, KMS and secrets across your IT estate and clouds all rest on classical public-key cryptography. Cloud providers are already shipping post-quantum options in their KMS and TLS stacks, so the defaults will shift whether or not you're ready. Without crypto-agility, swapping algorithms later means re-architecting live systems instead of changing configuration.
Practical hardening for the IT estate and the major cloud platforms — every highlight below maps to a module in the detailed course syllabus.
Building crypto-agility into endpoints, identity systems and networks
Moving TLS, SSH and VPN traffic to quantum-safe key exchange and signatures
KMS and key-management migration on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
Securing secrets and service-to-service authentication at scale
Designing a phased rollout that keeps live services available throughout
Three delivery depths — from a leadership briefing to a full hands-on lab — all tailored to your stack and clouds.
A leadership session that builds shared urgency and a funding case for a crypto-agility program — no technical prerequisites.
For platform and infrastructure engineers: crypto-agility patterns, quantum-safe protocols and KMS migration, with guided demos.
Full immersion: configure quantum-safe TLS/SSH, migrate keys across cloud KMS and ship a capstone rollout plan.
General cloud or IT administration familiarity — no cryptography expertise required for the briefing
Comfort working at a command line for the technical deep-dive and labs
Working knowledge of at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP) for the hands-on lab
A hosted cloud lab sandbox pre-wired for the exercises — no local setup needed
KMS migration runbooks for AWS, Azure and GCP to keep and reuse
A crypto-agility checklist so every attendee arrives at the right level
Content is pitched to each audience so the teams who run and build your estate all leave with what they need.
Own the cloud services, KMS and platform primitives the rest of the organisation builds on.
Leave able to migrate keys across AWS, Azure and GCP KMS and offer crypto-agile platform defaults.
Run the endpoints, certificates, VPNs and network paths that depend on classical cryptography.
Leave able to move TLS, SSH and VPN configurations to quantum-safe options without breaking availability.
Manage pipelines, secrets and the identity tokens that authenticate services to one another.
Leave able to secure secrets and service-to-service auth and roll algorithms through CI with confidence.
Capabilities and tangible artifacts that translate directly into your quantum-resilient cloud program.
The ability to find classical cryptography across endpoints, networks, identity and clouds
Hands-on familiarity with quantum-safe TLS, SSH and VPN configuration
A repeatable method for migrating keys across AWS, Azure and GCP KMS
Confidence to sequence a rollout so critical services stay available throughout
A crypto-agility reference architecture for your IT and cloud estate
KMS migration runbooks for AWS, Azure and GCP
Quantum-safe TLS and SSH configuration templates
A prioritised rollout plan sequenced for your estate
A QSECS certificate of completion for every participant
Five modules scaling from the threat model to hardening workloads at scale. Select a module to expand it.
Mapping TLS, SSH, VPNs, certificates, identity tokens, KMS and secrets across the IT and cloud estate.
How a quantum computer undermines the public-key cryptography these systems rely on.
Why captured cloud and network traffic is already at risk, and how to triage data by secrecy lifetime.
What cloud providers are already shipping in KMS and TLS, and what that means for your timeline.
Designing systems where algorithms are configuration, not hard-coded assumptions.
Certificate and key lifecycle management built for algorithm rotation across the fleet.
Quantum-safe signing for the identity and token flows that authenticate users and services.
Making network paths and trust boundaries ready to swap algorithms without re-architecture.
Hybrid key-exchange groups, handshake sizing and interoperability across services.
Moving SSH key exchange and host keys to quantum-safe options across servers and bastions.
Sequencing VPN and IPsec tunnels to quantum-safe profiles while preserving availability.
Prioritising and staging protocol migration so dependent services stay connected.
Key hierarchies, envelope encryption and a migration path on AWS Key Management Service.
Keys, secrets and certificates in Azure, and how to stage a quantum-safe migration.
Key rings, rotation and migration patterns on Google Cloud Key Management.
Consistent key management, rotation and HSM-backed roots of trust across providers.
Protecting secrets stores and the cryptography that guards application credentials.
Quantum-safe mutual TLS and workload identity for service-to-service authentication.
Hardening data-at-rest, disk and database encryption as keys and algorithms rotate.
Draft and present a prioritised, phased rollout plan for a realistic IT and cloud estate.

An illustrative Day 1 from the 2-day format — every agenda is tailored to your goals before delivery.
Where cryptography lives across the IT estate and clouds, and what "quantum-safe" means for each layer.
Designing systems where algorithms are configuration, with PKI and token flows built to rotate.
Hybrid handshakes and configuration changes that preserve availability across protocols.
Key hierarchies, envelope encryption and migration runbooks across the major cloud KMS platforms.
Stand up a service negotiating a hybrid group in the sandbox and inspect the handshake on the wire.
Day 2 covers hardening workloads and secrets, service-to-service auth and a phased rollout-planning workshop.
Everything teams usually ask before booking the quantum-resilient IT & cloud security track.
No. The executive briefing assumes only general cloud or IT administration familiarity. The technical deep-dive and labs expect comfort at a command line and working knowledge of at least one cloud platform. We send a crypto-agility checklist beforehand so everyone arrives at the right level.
The three major clouds — AWS, Azure and Google Cloud — and their key-management platforms: AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault and Google Cloud KMS, plus HSM-backed roots of trust. We also cover quantum-safe TLS, SSH and VPN across the IT estate.
All three. We run sessions in-person at your site, fully remote, or hybrid — across time zones for distributed teams. The hands-on labs run in a hosted cloud sandbox so delivery mode never changes the experience.
No. The exercises run entirely in a hosted cloud sandbox we provide. Participants only need a browser — there's no local setup, and nothing touches your production systems or live cloud accounts.
Yes. We tailor examples and labs to your cloud providers, protocols and platform tooling, and can anchor the rollout workshop to your real architecture under NDA. Tailoring is scoped during the requirement-analysis call.
Yes — every participant receives a verifiable QSECS Certificate of Completion, and hands-on tracks include a graded capstone. The credential maps to CPE hours for common security certifications.
