Introduction

Roundtable experts invited to participate at this event are at the forefront of the quantum and post-quantum transformation, delivering advanced quantum-resistant solutions to safeguard data and systems today against the quantum challenges of tomorrow.

This roundtable will debate and clarify recent comments suggesting that quantum computing technology may not become "very useful” for another 15-30 years. While such a timeline implies that the full potential of quantum computing is still distant, the imminent threat posed by future quantum computers to classical cryptographic systems cannot be ignored. Organizations must act now to adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions to secure their data and systems against potential traditional and quantum-based cyberattacks.

SEALSQ, a pioneer in post-quantum cryptography, has been leading this charge with innovations that provide end-to-end encryption and data protection. These advancements ensure that businesses and governments can transition seamlessly to a quantum-safe era.

The Quantum Computing Challenge

Quantum computing's unparalleled processing capabilities promise to revolutionize problem-solving across industries. However, they also pose a significant threat to current encryption systems, which could become obsolete in a post-quantum world. As organizations race to develop quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions, the stakes have never been higher for safeguarding sensitive data.

Generative AI: Innovation and Threats

Generative AI is redefining creativity and automation but also introducing new vulnerabilities. While it can enhance cybersecurity by identifying and mitigating risks, it can equally be exploited to automate and scale cyberattacks. The dual-edged nature of this technology demands urgent regulatory and ethical frameworks.

Quantum-AI Convergence: A New Frontier

The fusion of quantum computing and generative AI promises groundbreaking advancements across healthcare, finance, climate science, and beyond. However, this convergence amplifies risks, such as the creation of quantum-resistant malware and deepfake cyber tools, threatening global security. This panel will examine how governments, industries, and institutions must adapt to these rapidly evolving technologies.

Panel Highlights

The roundtable will address critical questions, including:

        •        How can we secure data when current encryption becomes ineffective?

        •        What role will AI play in the defense against quantum threats?

        •        How should industries balance innovation with security in this new era?

Esteemed Speakers

The panel features distinguished thought leaders from diverse sectors:

        •        Carlos Creus Moreira - Founder, Chairman, and CEO at WISeKey

        •        David Fergusson - Executive Managing Director, Generational Equity

        •        Ruma Bose - Chief Growth Officer, Clearco

        •        Philippe Monnier - President, Swiss International Society

        •        Mark Minevich - President, Going Global Ventures

        •        Grant Bourzikas - Chief Security Officer, Cloudflare

        •        Cristina Dolan - MIT Alum and Cybersecurity Expert

        •        Florian Schütz - Director, National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)

        •        Morton Swimmer - Principal Threat Researcher, Trend Micro

        •        Mark Hughes - Global Managing Partner, IBM Consulting Cybersecurity Services

        •        Bernard Vian - General Manager, SEALSQ France
