{ "item_title" : "The Quantum Imperative", "item_author" : [" Donald Mwase "], "item_description" : "Your Encrypted Data Is Already Being Stolen Nation-state adversaries aren't waiting for quantum computers to arrive. They're collecting your organisation's encrypted data right now - storing it until the day they can decrypt it. For any data with a sensitivity horizon beyond five years, the breach has already begun. The Quantum Imperative is the definitive executive guide to navigating the most consequential cryptographic transition in the history of enterprise security. Written specifically for CISOs, IT Directors, and senior security managers, this book cuts through the mathematics and delivers the strategic, operational, and governance frameworks you need to lead a post-quantum migration programme - before regulatory deadlines or a quantum incident forces your hand. Inside this guide you will find:A plain-English breakdown of why RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman are structurally broken by quantum computing - and why bigger key sizes won't save youA complete briefing on the four NIST-standardised post-quantum algorithms (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, FN-DSA) and how to select the right one for every use caseA five-phase migration roadmap with dependency chain mapping, change management protocols, and tested rollback proceduresHow to build the board-ready business case - including the financial model that makes the cost of inaction impossible to ignoreA step-by-step cryptographic asset discovery methodology and Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) frameworkHybrid TLS deployment guidance - including OpenSSL configuration commands you can hand directly to your teamSector-specific guidance for financial services, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructureReal-world case studies from financial institutions, government agencies, and technology companies already running PQC programmesA comprehensive vendor evaluation framework, HSM selection guide, and cloud KMS migration roadmapAn Executive FAQ with boardroom-tested answers to every hard questionA full Programme Execution Checklist, Incident Response Playbook, and Migration Readiness Self-AssessmentThe NIST post-quantum standards are finalised. Regulatory timelines are crystallising. The planning window is open - but it is narrowing. The security leaders who act now will arrive at the quantum era with their data protected. Those who wait will not. Ideal for: CISOs, IT Directors, Security Architects, Risk Managers, Compliance Officers, and any technology leader responsible for enterprise data protection.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/088/9798180881298_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "25.00", "online_price" : "25.00", "our_price" : "25.00", "club_price" : "25.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
