Quantum computing is advancing at a rapid pace and poses a significant threat to current cybersecurity practices; it has the potential to break many widely used encryption methods, rendering sensitive data vulnerable and is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Governments and organisations are already investing heavily in post-quantum cryptography, and cybersecurity leaders must begin preparing for this shift now. However, the industry faces a significant skill gap—quantum security expertise is scarce, and many organisations are unsure where to begin.

This open-format workshop is designed to spark discussion among security leaders about the future impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity. Rather than a deep technical dive, this session will explore the strategic considerations for CISOs, the evolving regulatory landscape, and practical steps organisations can take to avoid being caught off guard in the coming years.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand why quantum cybersecurity is expected to be a critical concern within the next few years.
• Explore the current skill gap in quantum security and discuss strategies for upskilling teams.
• Join an open discussion on how CISOs can start laying the groundwork today to mitigate future risks.
