A Quantum-Ready Board: Governance and Cyber Risk Oversight

RSA Conference

There is a general lack of quantum risk awareness among board members. The emergence of powerful quantum computers are an impending threat to our digital ecosystems — e.g. mobile phones and internet — because they can conceivably crack classical encryption. A quantum algorithm with that capability already exists; yet, quantum risk management is not a standard topic discussed at board meetings. Speakers: Maëva Ghonda, Host, Quantum AI Institute Podcast and Senior Fellow of HQS Quantum Simulations Dr. Lily Chen, Project Leader, Mathematician, Cryptographic Technology Group, NIST Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSAC
