DigiCert, a leading global provider of digital trust will hold its annual World Quantum Readiness Day virtual event on on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 and will be holding their inaugural Quantum Readiness Awards at the event. Both initiatives spotlight the critical need for current security infrastructures to adapt to the imminent reality of quantum computing.
World Quantum Readiness Day is a catalyst for action, urging enterprises and governments worldwide to evaluate their preparedness for the emerging quantum era. It highlights the growing urgency to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards and provides a playbook to help organizations defend against future quantum-enabled threats.
The Quantum Readiness Awards were created to recognize organizations that are leading the charge in quantum preparedness. These pioneers are setting the standard for what it means to be quantum-ready, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the challenges that quantum computing presents.
Our CEO Ali Kaafarani will be judging these awards alonside:
- Hugh Thompson, Chairman, RSAC
- Bill Newhouse, Cybersecurity Engineer & Project Lead, National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, NIST
- Tim Hollebeek, Industry Technology Strategist, DigiCert
DigiCert is championing a collaborative approach to build a quantum-resilient future. By working closely with industry leaders and harnessing collective expertise, DigiCert is helping drive a broad, coordinated transition to quantum-ready security, mitigating risk and preserving trust in our increasingly digital world.
