Certified Post-Quantum PKI & eIDAS Migration Professional (CPQP)

The Certified Post Quantum PKI and eIDAS Migration Professional CPQP Certification Program by Tonex equips experts to lead high stakes transitions to post quantum safe trust infrastructures. Participants explore how quantum threats impact enterprise PKI, web TLS, S MIME, document signing, and qualified trust services while keeping existing ecosystems stable. The program connects standards, regulation, and engineering practice so that designs remain compliant, auditable, and resilient over decades.

Strong focus is placed on hybrid cryptography models that protect long lived data from harvest now decrypt later adversaries. Learners work through realistic migration scenarios that span keys, certificates, platforms, and policies across complex organizations. By the end of the course, participants can articulate clear PQC roadmaps that align with business risk appetite and regulatory expectations while strengthening cybersecurity and preserving long term digital trust. They also learn how to engage auditors, vendors, and regulators in practical conversations about timelines, dependencies, and residual risk so that PQC adoption becomes an integrated part of overall cybersecurity strategy instead of a one time project.
