Quantum Dawn: Safeguarding Digital Assets in a Post-Quantum Era With Quantum Encryption Now – Executive Roundtable
This private, peer-only session will address the urgent reality that quantum computing is advancing faster than anticipated. This is exemplified by breakthroughs like Amazon’s Ocelot, Microsoft’s Majorana 1, Google’s Willow, IBM’s Heron R2, Zuchongzhi-3, Intel’s Tunnel Falls Next, Rigetti’s Aspen-M2, and Quantinuum’s Helios-Q. These innovations signal the rapid approach of a quantum-powered future. On the downside, as hackers and rogue nation entities harvest passwords awaiting “Q-Day,” the window to secure digital assets is closing. This roundtable will confront and discuss the following pressing questions:
- How do we evaluate current vulnerabilities?
- What immediate actions can organizations take to prepare for a post-quantum world?
- What design patterns and landing zones can we deploy now for quantum encryption to safeguard enterprises?
Held under Chatham House Rules, this vendor-free, no-recordings-allowed discussion provides a unique forum for IT executives to collaborate on actionable strategies. Reserve your place in this critical dialogue shaping the future of cybersecurity now. A reception follows.
