Workshop Description

Digital media organisations face quantum risk across four domains simultaneously: content protection (DRM systems relying on RSA and ECC), audience data (first-party data stores protected by classical encryption), delivery infrastructure (CDN TLS termination handling millions of connections), and emerging computing applications (quantum ML for recommendation, quantum optimisation for advertising). Each domain has a different threat timeline, different regulatory exposure, and different investment profile. Leadership teams need a structured framework for sequencing investment across these domains.

This briefing provides that framework without requiring cryptographic expertise. We cover the regulatory obligations that create board-level accountability (NIS2 Directive for essential service operators, EU Cyber Resilience Act for connected products, Ofcom security requirements), the competitive dynamics (first-movers in PQC migration gain procurement advantage with studios and platform partners), and the investment sequencing logic (which migrations are urgent, which can wait, and which quantum computing applications warrant monitoring versus active investment). Participants leave with a decision framework, not a technical migration plan.

What participants cover

Quantum risk exposure mapping across the four digital media domains: content protection, audience data, delivery infrastructure, and quantum computing applications
Regulatory accountability: NIS2 Directive essential service obligations, EU Cyber Resilience Act product security requirements, and Ofcom security duties for streaming platform operators
Investment sequencing framework: distinguishing urgent PQC migrations (harvest-now-decrypt-later exposure) from monitored-only quantum computing applications
Competitive dynamics: how PQC readiness affects studio content licensing negotiations, platform partnerships, and advertiser data protection commitments
Board governance: translating quantum risk into risk register language, setting migration budget expectations, and defining executive accountability for PQC transition
Vendor landscape: assessing CDN provider (Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly) PQC readiness, DRM vendor migration timelines, and cloud provider quantum security roadmaps

Preliminary Agenda

Half-day executive briefing with structured discussion. Content is configurable to your organisation's technology portfolio, regulatory jurisdiction, and strategic priorities.

#	Session	Topics
1	Quantum Risk Landscape for Digital Media Four-domain exposure assessment for leadership teams	Content protection domain: DRM systems (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay) RSA/ECC dependencies and the harvest-now-decrypt-later threat to premium content Audience data domain: first-party data encryption, consent management infrastructure, and GDPR/ePrivacy exposure under quantum decryption scenarios Delivery infrastructure domain: CDN TLS termination, QUIC/HTTP/3, and the performance versus security trade-off at edge scale
2	Regulatory Obligations and Board Accountability NIS2, EU CRA, Ofcom, and governance frameworks	NIS2 Directive: essential service operator obligations, management body personal liability, and incident reporting requirements applicable to digital media EU Cyber Resilience Act: connected product security requirements affecting smart TVs, set-top boxes, and streaming devices in your distribution chain Ofcom and national regulator security duties: streaming platform operator obligations and enforcement trajectory
Break, after 50 min
3	Investment Sequencing and Competitive Dynamics Prioritising quantum security spending	Sequencing framework: urgent (audience data PQC migration, CDN TLS hybrid modes), planned (DRM trust chain coordination), monitored (quantum computing applications) Competitive advantage: how PQC readiness affects studio content licensing, platform partnerships, and advertiser data protection commitments Budget estimation: order-of-magnitude investment ranges for each migration phase based on published industry deployment data
4	Discussion and Decision Framework Structured executive decision-making session
