From Security to Continuity: Cyber & Resilience at the Cusp of Quantum

2024 saw record instances of cyber-attacks and widespread outages driven by user behaviours and software updates, impacting widely-used providers. This shone a spotlight on the need for ever more sophisticated approaches to ensure continuity of service. Emerging approaches include zero-trust architecture with its principles of continuous verification and "never trust, always verify", multi-factor authentication and quantum-safe practices. Questions playing on the mind of CISOs include, how do we protect ourselves from the humans in the loop?

This session considers approaches for corporate readiness, how company leadership should support organisational preparedness for these accelerating technologies, with a view to recommending an approach for companies to determine their best course of action to ensure continuity.
