1:00 PM Responding to the Quantum Computing Threat - Danika Hannon, Deputy Head of the Quantum Strategy Institute (QSI)
Reactions to the idea of quantum computing breaking encryption range from uncertainty (at best) to fear (at worst). Given how harmful that is to businesses, this presentation breaks down the quantum computing threat from a US standpoint and explores these critical questions:
1. What types of encryption are at risk?
2. Where will the attacks come from and what will the targets be?
3. What are the timelines for this threat arriving?
4. How can my business prepare for this?
A data-driven approach is used to explore each of those areas. Because if you’re going to face the changing landscape with confidence, then you’ll need fact-based guidance.
