Geneva, Switzerland, October 30, 2024 -- SEALSQ Corp("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today is hosting a webinar titled "The Day After Tomorrow: IoT Security in the Post-Quantum Age." This event will showcase SEALSQ's latest advancements in post-quantum technologies and address critical questions from clients and industry leaders about the future of security in the quantum era.

Webinar Focus: The Impact of Quantum Computing on Cybersecurity

The event will provide insights into the transformative impact of quantum computing, which leverages quantum mechanics to perform calculations at unprecedented speeds. This leap in computational power poses a significant threat to traditional encryption standards, such as RSA and ECC, which underpin today's digital security infrastructures. As a result, SEALSQ has accelerated its focus on post-quantum cryptography (PQC)—a field dedicated to developing algorithms resistant to quantum threats.

Key Topics Addressed During the Webinar

SEALSQ’s experts will delve into pressing questions from the field, shedding light on how PQC can ensure data and communications security, how artificial intelligence (AI) could enhance quantum-era cybersecurity, and what proactive steps organizations should take to transition into this new paradigm.

Among the topics to be discussed:

Why Quantum Computing Disrupts Traditional Cybersecurity: Quantum computers could solve problems that classical computers would take millennia to crack, creating vulnerabilities in widely-used encryption standards.

The Importance of Post-Quantum Cryptography: PQC involves algorithms that are robust against quantum attacks, enabling a secure transition for data protection in a quantum-capable world.

AI’s Role in Quantum Cybersecurity: AI can dynamically adapt to evolving quantum threats by simulating attacks, optimizing security protocols, and automating the deployment of quantum-resistant solutions.

Risks of AI in PQC Contexts: While AI offers powerful defense capabilities, it can also serve as a tool for sophisticated cyberattacks if wielded maliciously.

Readiness for a Quantum Future: Organizations are advised to assess current cryptographic assets, explore hybrid encryption solutions, and invest in talent skilled in PQC, AI, and quantum computing.

Anticipated Timeline for Quantum Breakthroughs: Experts suggest that practical quantum decryption may still be a decade away, yet immediate action is critical to counter "harvest now, decrypt later" risks.

Post-Quantum Semiconductors: A Hardware-Driven Defense.

SEALSQ will also highlight its post-quantum semiconductor technology, designed to handle quantum-resistant encryption at the hardware level. These advanced semiconductors integrate PQC algorithms natively, allowing IoT devices, critical infrastructure, and secure supply chains to withstand quantum-based cyber threats.

These discussions will cover the advantages of post-quantum semiconductors, from improved IoT security and critical infrastructure protection to adaptive cybersecurity strategies that evolve with emerging threats.

Why SEALSQ Leads the Way

With a strong commitment to advancing PQC and secure IoT ecosystems, SEALSQ continues to break new ground in creating resilient, adaptive security solutions that meet the demands of a post-quantum era. Through this webinar, SEALSQ aims to empower organizations with the knowledge and tools they need to secure their digital landscapes well into the future.
