Quantum computing is no longer a distant theoretical concern—it’s a rapidly approaching reality with the power to render today’s encryption obsolete. Nation-states and cybercriminals alike are racing to harness quantum capabilities, and when they do, the security foundations that CISOs rely on today could crumble overnight. Waiting until quantum supremacy arrives is not an option—by then, all of the data at your organizations will be compromised. In this session, cybersecurity and quantum leader, Mehak Kalsi, cuts through the hype and focuses on the real impact quantum computing will have on cybersecurity. 

• Quantum Computing: What is it and how is it different from classical computing?
• The Ticking Timebomb: What's the problem and is it already too late?
• Quantum Readiness: What are the risks of not being quantum ready?
• Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): What solutions are emerging, and how can organizations begin transitioning before it’s too late?
• Immediate Action Steps: What should CISOs should be doing now at their organizations?
