As quantum computing moves from theory to reality, the very foundations of today’s cybersecurity models are under threat. Encryption methods that safeguard financial systems, critical infrastructure, and global supply chains could soon be vulnerable to quantum-powered attacks. At the same time, these emerging technologies also hold the promise of groundbreaking security innovations.

This session will explore how organizations and governments can prepare for the coming quantum era. Our panel of experts will examine the evolving quantum threat landscape, the global race to develop and adopt post-quantum cryptography, and the potential of innovations such as quantum key distribution. We will also highlight the urgent need for governance frameworks, cross-border collaboration, and industry–academia partnerships to build quantum-safe infrastructures that can withstand the challenges of tomorrow.
