Sub Category

Objectives
- Explain how Shor's algorithm breaks RSA, ECDH, and DSA — and why increasing key size provides zero protection against a quantum computer
- Apply Mosca's Theorem to score your organisation's quantum risk and produce a prioritised 30/90/365-day migration action plan by role
- Identify every cryptographic algorithm at risk across TLS, VPN, SSH, PKI, and code signing — and map each one to its exact quantum threat level
- Explain how Harvest Now, Decrypt Later attacks work and why data encrypted today under RSA or ECDH may already be in an adversary's archive
- Interpret NIST FIPS 203/204/205, NSA CNSA 2.0, EU DORA, and NIS2 quantum mandates and their binding compliance deadlines by jurisdiction
- Communicate quantum security risk to boards and executives using business-impact language without requiring any technical background
Pre Requisites
- No quantum physics or mathematics background required — every concept is built from first principles with plain-language explanations
- No programming or coding experience needed — this is not a development course; it is a security strategy and risk awareness course
- Basic familiarity with cybersecurity terminology (encryption, certificates, VPNs, PKI) is helpful but not required to enrol
- An open mind toward technical concepts explained at a conceptual level — you will understand the mathematics intuitively, not by calculation
- Access to a computer or mobile device to download the 7 supplementary research papers and reference guides included with the course
FAQ
- Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
- A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
- Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
- A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
