Quantum technologies are rapidly moving from research labs into real-world applications. For government and public sector IT leaders, gaining a clear understanding of quantum computing, quantum networks, and post-quantum security is essential for making informed strategic decisions. These developments are reshaping the future of data protection, communications and mission-critical systems across the federal enterprise.
In this session, Bob Gourley and Harvey Morrison shared insights tailored for agency technologists, CIOs, CISOs and policy leaders. The conversation began with a brief discussion of what excites them most about the quantum landscape, followed by an exploration of both the science and the strategic implications of this rapidly evolving field.
Topics that were covered included: the fundamentals of quantum computing, its impact on current encryption systems and the emerging field of post-quantum cryptography. The session also provided insight into federal guidance on quantum-safe security, key research initiatives and practical steps IT and cybersecurity leaders can take to prepare for quantum readiness.
Key takeaways included:
- A practical understanding of quantum technology and its relevance to public sector missions
- Insights into policy and compliance shifts affecting cybersecurity and IT planning
- Awareness of the government’s role in shaping the future of quantum research and implementation
- Clear steps agencies can take to prepare for quantum risks and opportunities
