Program Manager Quantum-Safe Cryptography (CIO Government)
As a program manager for Quantum-Safe Cryptography at the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Pieter is responsible for stimulating and coordinating initiatives related to post-quantum cryptography. With his experience in various cybersecurity roles within the Ministry, driven by personal and social motivation, he is committed to anchoring this theme within the government and vital infrastructures.
Globally, countries are investing billions in quantum technology to develop the first functional quantum computer. This technology threatens to undermine current encryption and thereby weaken our digital resilience. It is therefore crucial to start the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in a timely manner. But how do you take that step when implementing new legislation demands all your time, talent is scarce, and budgets are limited?

Are you interested in Pieter’s strategy and approach and would you like to discuss this theme with him and the other participants afterwards? Then you are warmly invited to participate on November 26!
