Post-Quantum Cryptography: Managing the UK’s Quantum Risk (Invite-only)
Description
The UK’s digital security is underpinned by robust cryptography. Over the coming years, there will be a global migration to post-quantum cryptography, to protect against the threat from future quantum computers. We will discuss the challenges this presents for CISOs: getting buy-in from boards; accessing skills; and cross-sector transparency. We will hear some practical examples of the steps some organisations are already taking and there will be an opportunity to ask your own questions of the government and industry representatives on the panel.
The lunch will be a time to network with some of our speakers and senior members of NCSC ahead of the session on PQC.
Closed track. Invite only.
