This Session will be followed by a networking reception at 6:30 pm

Session Description:

Quantum computing is already disrupting many industries much sooner than later will destroy current data protection and encryption protocols. It is proven capable of breaking current public-key cryptography (PKC) systems such as RSA, Diffie-Hellman etc..  So how close is Quantum Day (Q-Day), and how do we prepare for quantum hacking? 

Learn from the forward -thinking global cyber security experts.
