Panel: Planning for Security in a Post-Quantum World

-

The United States has recently been hit with a large number of cybersecurity attacks. Government leaders have taken action to secure agencies through the form of mandates and directives such as the M-22-09 Zero Trust Strategy, Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Law, and Executive Order 14028: Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. Some of our brightest minds are working to envision the quantum computing future and how we can realize its enormous potential for progress – and short-circuit its immense potential for peril. This panel will discuss current guidance on moving to quantum-resistant encryption and how researchers are combining AI and commercially-viable quantum technologies today to enable post-quantum cryptography.
