However\, transforming the ecosystem to shift toward these technologies will be difficult and expensive. From rising research and development (R&D) investments to new software requirements and enhanced customer experiences\, scenario planning and strategic alliances are increasingly important. In this session\, we’ll analyze how industry stakeholders are overcoming challenges facing a rapidly evolving sector. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 5:00 – 5:30 PM EST\nAI and quantum cyber disruption \nHorizon scanning is a critical part of a cyber professional’s job. Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies are poised to be the next technology disruptions\, with profound impacts to cybersecurity. We will provide a pragmatic view of these potential impacts and steps you can take today to prepare for tomorrow.
