Futureproofing the Digital Frontier: Bridging Technology and Policy for a Safer Future

As data, systems, and economies become more interconnected, traditional security approaches face inherent limitations. This panel dives into the critical intersection of technical innovations and regulatory frameworks, highlighting how these two often siloed domains can inform and enhance one another.

From the rise of post-quantum cryptography to the potential of blockchain to decentralise trust, technologists are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in securing the digital landscape. At the same time, policymakers are addressing the challenges of regulating a digital world that transcends borders and jurisdictions. This session seeks to bridge these perspectives, fostering a dialogue that examines how innovative technologies and progressive regulations can converge to protect people and businesses in an increasingly complex environment.
