Conference Topic

Today, we are talking about AI. But digital development continues to advance, and with it, the challenges surrounding security are growing. Quantum computers will be capable of breaking encryption methods that are widely used today. What may still sound like a distant prospect is already a leadership issue: attackers are collecting encrypted data today so that they can decrypt it later, once the technology becomes available («harvest now, decrypt later»). Regulators in the EU and Switzerland are setting concrete deadlines for the migration to quantum-safe methods. This half-day conference is designed particularly for executives without a technical background, providing insight into what is at stake, which decisions need to be made and how they can fulfil their supervisory and due diligence responsibilities.

Through a combination of keynotes, panels and an interactive workshop, you will gain a concise assessment of the threat landscape, an overview of the regulatory roadmap in Switzerland and the EU, and practical, tried-and-tested tools to assess how your own organisation may be affected.

Your Takeaways

• You will understand the threat posed by quantum computers and be able to assess the risks facing your organisation.
• You will be familiar with the current regulatory roadmap in Switzerland and the EU and understand its implications for your supervisory and due diligence responsibilities.
• You will learn about Mosca’s formula and how to apply it to your own organisation.
• You will know which questions to ask management, suppliers and advisers in order to distinguish genuine solutions from «quantum washing».
• You will connect with speakers from research, regulatory bodies and industry, as well as with executives from other organisations.

The conference starts at 13.30h and ends at 17.30h. Detailed information about the programme will be available shortly in our brochure. You can download the brochure as a PDF by clicking the «Request brochure» button.
