Audience: CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, Chief Innovation Officers, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Data Officers, and senior technology/security leaders

Why this webinar matters:

In a world where quantum computing is set to disrupt cybersecurity and reshape industries, there is no conversation more critical for CTOs, CIOs, and CISOs.

Quantum computers capable of breaking current encryption standards are projected to be widely available five to six years before most organizations transition to quantum-safe cryptography.

This is your opportunity to advance your company’s readiness, infused by the findings of the new IBM Institute of Business Value Report on securing the post-quantum future.

What you’ll explore:

• The surprising gap between strategy and execution in quantum-safe readiness
• How enterprises are embracing quantum-safe transformation
• POV: Innovating for Quantum Safety – The Approach

This is not just another webinar. Hear about strategy and best practises from our global IBM Quantum Safe experts, IBM Research and from the Deputy EMEA CISO & Head of Cyber Security Management and Information Risk Management at Mizuho EMEA. You will walk away with actionable strategies for your organization’s readiness, tailored for executive decision-making in the quantum era.
