Quantum x Cybersecurity workshop

Quantum technology is increasingly affecting the IT security landscape for businesses and digital infrastructure.

It is expected that the quantum computer will be able to break current encryption schemes in the future. Even today, the threat of quantum technology is already present, as malicious actors are collecting data with the intention of decrypting the data once a powerful quantum computer has been developed.

To reduce these threats, the quantum industry is racing to build new quantum-based cryptography and encryption tools that will pave the way for a quantum-secure future for business operations and digital infrastructure.

Join this workshop to explore the opportunities and risks of quantum technology.

With insights from quantum security experts, the workshop provides an overview of the implications of quantum on cybersecurity and will equip you with the first steps to developing a quantum-secure strategy for your IT security.

The workshop is hosted by Danish Quantum Community with support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Why you should attend:

This workshop is especially relevant for CTOs, CISOs or other IT professionals working with IT security and cyber threats at a political or strategic level. The workshop will allow participants to:

• Build quantum-awareness: Benefit from the expertise of quantum experts who will guide you through the implications of quantum technology on businesses today and in the future and explain how quantum companies are currently building new tools for a quantum-safe future.

• Strategic insights: Gain strategic insights into the development of quantum technology and how it will reshape the cybersecurity landscape, enabling you to make informed decisions for your organization’s future and build resilience.

• Networking: Engage in discussions with peers and learn from others’ perspectives on the evolving field of quantum-related cybersecurity.
