That brings us to the close of the second World Quantum Readiness Day event. I'd like to start by thanking our awesome speakers, our panelists. Special thanks to John and the Cube for hosting us, and thanks to the DigiCert team for putting together a great event. Before I wrap up, I wanted to summarize some of my key takeaways from the sessions that I heard. In the business track, we talked about the importance of raising awareness of PKI modernization and post-quantum cryptography. This isn't just an operational challenge anymore; it's a huge business challenge. So think about what it means for your organization, the cost of inaction. Make sure your execs are aware, make sure they understand the security risks, the business risks, the compliance risks, and are able to fund and prioritize this very important transition. The second recommendation we have is setting up a technical center of excellence within your organization that can understand the complexity of PQC, understand your own infrastructure and what it would take to migrate to quantum safety. A popular question I get is, 'Man, this is massive. Where do I start?' As I say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. So pick up one application, an important application, look at the software, look at its infrastructure, and generate an inventory of the cryptography that goes into that application. Experiment with PQC, figure out the impact. You might have memory issues, you might have performance impact. But as you get more comfortable and are able to upgrade one application and make it PQC ready, you'll learn and be able to expand and start doing multiple applications. And you're not alone. DigiCert and our partners are here to help. We have a whole slew of PQC resources available for you. Check out digicert.com solutions for documents, guides, videos, and PQC technical papers. We've also set up our PQC labs where you can experiment with the latest NIST algorithms, measure performance, and benchmark them against some of our own experiments. These are available free of cost, and you can log in and start playing around today. We also have experts in PQC. These are the same experts that work with NIST, that work with IETF to come up with the new standards we talked about throughout the session. So you're not alone; we are here to help. Finally, I'd urge you to look at DigiCert One, our overall PKI modernization platform. As we talked about, the road to classical cryptography modernization and PQC adoption is one and the same over the next three years. It starts with having a platform that can generate a full inventory of all your cryptographic assets. DigiCert One brings together PKI and DNS into one platform, which is very important as you start thinking about automation. Without DNS, it's very hard to do PKI-related automation. DigiCert is a very well-known commercial public CA, but many organizations have started adopting RCA in their internal and private PKI environments. This platform is fully ready for PQC; all the NIST algorithms are supported today, and we also support other CAs in a truly agnostic way. We've added a lot of AI-powered integration capabilities on DigiCert One that can help you modernize PKI across your machines, your infrastructure, your software. You might have lots of devices out in the field, whether IoT or OT devices, and it becomes more important to think about the full lifecycle management of these devices when you start thinking about post-quantum cryptography. So we have the experts, we have the platform, we are here to help. With that, I'd like to thank all of you for attending the event today. I hope you found the sessions useful. We are here to help as you take your next step towards quantum safety. Thank you.
