Our CSO Ben Packman will be speaking at the Security Privacy Identity & Trust (SPIT) SIG event (Cambridge Networks) to be held in Cambridge on the 28th January, 5pm-8pm.
The theme of the event is – “Building Quantum-Resilient Systems: A Practical Approach”.
It is said that quantum computers will undermine the cryptographic controls that protect our privacy, secure our intellectual property, and confirm our identity to business partners and service providers. Huge amounts of research has been carried out to identify new controls that can take the place of algorithms that are vulnerable to attack by quantum computers, and more still has been carried out to find ways of bringing cryptographically-relevant quantum computers closer to reality.
But the complexity of marrying up developments in quantum physics to security objectives has left many wondering how real the risk is, and how to make the argument that this is a problem that requires investment. Worse still, the activities by large software vendors have encouraged some to lean back and wait for their supply chain to manage the issue for them.
In this event we aim to explain the risk in practical terms, identify what issues need active management by engineers and IT departments alike, and explore some of the practical challenges associated with moving towards so called “quantum-safe” technologies.
