Overview
Join us on 11 July for an evening dedicated to exploring the frontiers of quantum computing and quantum-resistant cybersecurity. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, understanding the transition to quantum-secure financial services is paramount.
Our event sheds light on the intersection of post-quantum cybersecurity risks and the latest advancements in quantum computing, including the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" attack vector. We will delve into how this attack vector impacts the financial sector, exploring proactive measures to mitigate this risk and examining the potential consequences of delayed decryption in terms of data security. Tailored for industry leaders, especially CISOs/CIOs and cybersecurity departments, the event offers insights into strengthening cybersecurity within the finance sector, while also discussing strategies for leveraging quantum computing's potential while minimizing risks.
We also recognize the crucial role of collaboration between industry, researchers, and policymakers in advancing towards a quantum-secure future. By fostering collaboration, financial institutions can navigate the complexities of quantum computing and cybersecurity, driving resilience and innovation in financial services.
