Why attend the Executive Track?
Business leaders worldwide are increasingly taking concrete steps to prepare for the quantum era: protecting business continuity, the resilience of critical cyber systems, and the integrity and confidentiality of information assets.
The Executive Track on 5 November is designed for business executives, including CEOs, CTOs and CISOs, and will outline the state of the quantum threat and quantum risk management.
Attendees will learn how quantum computers are poised to disrupt the current technology landscape, and approaches being taken by business and governments to managing the quantum risk to information assets, cyber systems and business continuity, now and into the future of quantum computing.
More precisely, this one day event will be an opportunity to:
Get an executive level overview of quantum computing, why it is important and how it will disrupt the IT landscape:
- Authenticating a transaction with your bank, updating the software on your computer, protecting your corporate network, accessing and controlling connected devices – all of these standard tasks face significant threats from quantum computers.
- Find out how leading vendors are approaching this massive increase in cyber vulnerability and planning for security enhancements that will also protect against the quantum threat;
- Find out about the commercially available conventional solutions and how they can help prepare your organization for a quantum future;
- Discuss the road ahead for both the ICT Industry and the CxOs that need to build plans to ensure that they are well protected from the evolving threat of a quantum computer.
