Quantum Computing and Cybersecurity: Risks, National Security and Industry Readiness

Quantum computing is no longer a distant concept—it’s a fast-approaching reality and could expose sensitive data by breaking encryption systems we rely on today. What can companies do now to address this emerging risk? The technology promises revolutionary advances in processing power, but it also poses significant risks to traditional encryption and cybersecurity frameworks. As quantum capabilities evolve, businesses and regulators must prepare for a future where today’s security standards may no longer be sufficient.

Topics will include:

• a primer on quantum computing, including what milestones must be achieved before “Q-Day” (the day quantum computers become powerful enough to break the encryption algorithms that currently secure our digital communications);
• national security implications and how the Department of Defense is approaching post-quantum readiness;
• how almost all companies have such risks, with banks and financial institutions among the most exposed;
• what data protection challenges are emerging due to quantum computing;
• risk mitigation and how organizations can prepare for quantum-resilient security; and
• where quantum computing is delivering value today and how companies can benefit.
