This panel will explore the increasing recognition among national governments of the risks quantum computing poses to traditional cryptographic systems. It will examine how governments are proactively addressing these challenges to safeguard sensitive data and national interests. Attendees will learn about the policy frameworks, collaborative efforts, and investment strategies being employed to strengthen quantum cryptography capabilities. 

Key topics include: 

• What is the stance of federal institutions and governments on the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat? 
• How are governments collaborating to promote standardization and interoperability in quantum security? 
• What practical challenges do governments face when implementing quantum-resistant cryptographic techniques, and how are they addressing them? 
• What are the current complexities in transitioning to quantum-safe encryption and securing critical national infrastructure?
