SRE, Platform Engineering, Devops Oh My!!!! I Embraced CI\/CD and You Can Too!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ethan LeClair, Boston University<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

About the talk<\/h3>
<\/strong><\/p>\n
Join us on an overly ambitious tallk where we explore embracing one of many DevOps concepts: Continuous Integration \/ Continuous Deployment. This talk gives a primer on getting started with implementing CICD into your workflows to improve reliability, velocity, and security of your application\/infrastructure code.<\/span><\/div>\n

Post-Quantum Cryptography: What you need to know now.<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

About the talk<\/h3>

Within the next few years, a quantum computer may be able to break the encryption that protects nearly everything on the internet \u2014 banking, healthcare records, government communications, and the credentials that hold it all together. That moment has a name: Q-Day. And preparing for it starts now.<\/p>\n

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is the field developing encryption algorithms built to survive the quantum era. Standards are being finalized, vendors are starting to ship support, and organizations that wait too long to build crypto-agility \u2014 the ability to swap out cryptographic algorithms as the landscape changes \u2014 will find themselves scrambling when it matters most.<\/p>\n

In this session, we’ll dig into what PQC actually is, when Q-Day might realistically arrive, and what a transition really involves: what’s already safe, what isn’t, and the hard tradeoffs organizations will face as they get ready. The goal isn’t to hand you a finished playbook \u2014 it’s to make sure you’re asking the right questions before the industry runs out of runway to answer them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
