Session Outline
Let’s take off the corporate tie and talk about the reality of the "Digital Resilience Mandate." In this relaxed session, we’ll dive into the human side of the Quantum-AI era. Is it actually possible to "govern trust," or are we just chasing a moving target? Our guests will share "war stories" from the front lines of data governance, the mistakes made during early AI deployments, and what keeps them up at night as we edge closer to a post-quantum world.
Key Takeaways
-
The "Human" Security Perimeter: Understanding that resilience isn't just about code—it's about building a culture that can identify AI-driven social engineering.
-
Pragmatic Prioritization: A "no-nonsense" list of which Quantum threats are immediate (e.g., "Store Now, Decrypt Later") versus those that are still years away.
-
Authentic Trust Building: Practical tips on how to be transparent with customers about AI usage without exposing proprietary IP or creating unnecessary alarm.
-
Agility over Perfection: Shifting the mindset from being "unhackable" to being recoverable and adaptive in a rapidly changing tech landscape.
