The capabilities of quantum computers are advancing rapidly. Quantum algorithms running on quantum computers are likely to be beneficial in enhancing R&D in several technology domains.

However, they are a potential threat to security systems since they increase the probability of classical cryptography algorithms getting broken.

What cyberthreat does quantum computing pose, and why is there a need for new cryptography techniques based on the paradigm of post-quantum cryptography? How prepared are enterprises to tackle the risks? Experts say quantum-era cybersecurity will wield the power to detect and deflect quantum-era cyberattacks before they cause harm.

In this session, led by Anish Koshy, vice president - information and cyber security risk officer, Standard Chartered GBS, you will learn:

• How potential threats to encrypted data from quantum computers pose a significant concern
• Why there is a need to plan quantum-safe migration of the existing security applications and networks
• Why adopting a quantum risk management approach and planning is preferable to facing the consequences of sensitive data loss
• How to build crypto agility and manage cryptographic environment better
