   Showcase

   Ecosystem showcase · lightning round

   Ninety seconds each, then find them on the floor Six sponsor firms introduce themselves and their work, one slide and ninety seconds apiece. This is a showcase, not an editorial session, and it is labeled as such. It runs immediately before lunch so the room can act on it while the floor is open.

    Panel

    Panel 1 · The inventory nobody has

    Security leaders on what the work actually costs Every framework begins with a cryptographic inventory, and almost no institution has one that counts what matters. Practicing security leaders describe what their discovery tooling found, what it missed, and what the first honest readiness score looked like. Panelists are asked to describe a failure as well as a success.

    Panel

    Panel 2 · What the examiner will ask

    Financial institutions, credit unions, and the supervisory clock The payments system runs on signatures, which puts banking at the center of the identity exposure. Practitioners from banks and credit unions work through the proportionate version of a readiness program, and the panel is direct about the core-processor dependency that most determines a community institution's timeline. The examiner questions are already legible. This session states them plainly.

    Panel

    Panel 3 · What counsel sees coming

    Outside and in-house counsel on exposure, disclosure, and vendors Quantum readiness is becoming a question of documented diligence rather than technical opinion. Counsel examines where liability attaches, what the vendor contract actually transfers, and what a defensible record looks like before anything fails. The panel also addresses the gap between what an institution knows and what it has written down.

    Panel

    Panel 4 · The fifteen-year purchase

    Government and critical infrastructure on assets that outlive the deadlines A substation gateway, a water control system, and a state identity credential are all being procured this year and will still be in service well past 2035. This panel treats readiness as a procurement discipline, covering tender language, fleets that cannot be upgraded in the field, and the double migration facing identity programs. In operational technology the case is physical. A forged firmware signature is not a data breach. It is an actuator moving
