Keynote and additional speakers include:
Tackling the Quantum Cybersecurity Threat The first day of the event will examine the implications of quantum computing on existing national security and IT infrastructures. These sessions will examine the latest technology trends, including quantum machine learning and AI, as well as measures that can be taken now to safeguard and future-proof existing infrastructure. The day will end with a roundtable of industry and academic thought leaders discussing Y2Q (Years-to-Quantum) and preparing for a post-quantum world. Autonomous Security and Next Generation Networks The second day will focus on the security challenges of current and future 5G networks, highlighting breakthrough Autonomous Security (AS) systems that enable connected devices to manage their own security without human intervention. These talks will focus on deploying scalable, trustworthy networks of intelligent, self-governing edge devices that ensure the integrity of machine data and the protection of personal, private, confidential information.
