About the Speaker

Mark Mahovlich is a seasoned technology and cybersecurity executive with over 29 years of experience in enterprise systems, security architecture, compliance, and digital asset protection. He has led large‑scale technology and security initiatives for federal agencies and Fortune‑class organizations, including more than 175 ERP implementations. Mark is a recognized industry speaker and thought leader, presenting at Gartner, RSA, SecureWorld, ISSA, and InfraGard.

Will cover the following:                                                                                  Post Quantum Encryption (PQC).

Abstract                                                                                        Post‑Quantum Cryptography (PQC) addresses the impending risk that quantum computing poses to classical public‑key cryptography, including RSA, ECC, and Diffie‑Hellman. This session examines the cryptographic primitives most vulnerable to quantum attacks, the implications of “harvest now, decrypt later” adversary models, and the current state of NIST‑selected post‑quantum algorithms. Attendees will explore practical impacts to TLS, PKI, identity systems, data‑at‑rest encryption, and hybrid cryptographic deployments, along with architectural and governance considerations for crypto‑agility. The discussion focuses on actionable steps security professionals can take today to assess exposure, plan migration paths, and integrate post‑quantum readiness into existing security and risk management programs.
