Distinguished Panel: A Quantum Leap in Cyber Threats: Are We Ready for What’s Next?

Geoff Brown

Moderator: Geoff Brown, CEO, Silobreaker

Quantum computing is on the horizon, promising immense computational breakthroughs but simultaneously introducing unprecedented cybersecurity risks. This session will delve into the immediate and future threats from quantum-capable adversaries, including the looming breakdown of classical cryptographic systems. Through insights from leading researchers and security practitioners, we'll analyze quantum-readiness benchmarks, explore practical post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration strategies, and review government timelines like NIST's PQC standardization. The panel also will focus on vital methods for mitigating quantum risk to critical infrastructure and high-value data assets. Join us for this crucial discussion, tailored for both technical and strategic audiences, as we confront the urgent challenge: Can we secure our digital future before quantum threats become reality?
