About the Webinar

Quantum computing is advancing faster than many risk leaders realise - and 95% of organisations are unprepared. According to ISACA’s global Quantum Computing Pulse Poll, only 5% of organisations have a defined quantum strategy, despite 62% of cybersecurity and risk professionals expressing concern that quantum computing could break today’s internet encryption.

The implications for risk managers are significant and wide-reaching.

In this exclusive webinar, hear from global cybersecurity leaders Jamie Norton (ISACA Board Director) and Rob Clyde (Chairman, Crypto Quantique and former ISACA Board Chair) as they unpack the findings of ISACA’s latest Quantum Computing Pulse Poll and explore what risk and compliance professionals need to do now, to prepare.

You’ll gain practical insights into:

  • Why quantum computing could disrupt encryption, digital trust and compliance frameworks

  • The ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ threat and what it means for your organisation’s data

  • What’s holding organisations back and how to build a proactive quantum risk roadmap

  • The key questions every risk manager should be asking their executive and IT teams

  • How to align quantum preparedness with governance, skills and regulatory readiness

Whether your organisation is quantum-curious or already exploring post-quantum strategies, this session will equip you with knowledge and practical steps, before the disruption hits.
