The Future of Quantum Security

<p>Jaya Baloo, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Avast Software, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim. </p> <p>In this conversation, they talk about why is it so hard to eradicate cybersecurity challenges? Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment (IOCTA). Threats we are ready for and know about vs. Threats we don’t know about are not ready for. The Quantum Market Players, Challenges, and applications. What quantum security challenges do you worry about in the next decade? Jaya uses the story of Alice, Bob, and ex-girlfriend Eve to illustrate quantum security. How to teach quantum computing to a new gen of engineers. </p> <p>The takeaway is that quantum security is just around the corner--because if it isn’t, we are all in trouble. Quantum computing has gone from being a theoretical possibility, to a highly experimental, niche application among a few computer firms, to a significant, emerging government concern, and a future business opportunity for those with a lot of data to crunch fast. Most of us don’t need to worry about it in this decade, but doing so, is a bit like not thinking about retirement in your twenties. It isn’t necessary, but it is smart to do. </p> <p>After listening to the episode, check out Avast Software as well as Jaya Baloo's online profile:</p> <ul><li>Avast Software <a href='https://www.avast.com/en-us/index#pc'>https://www.avast.com/en-us/index#pc</a> </li> <li>Jaya Baloo (@jayabaloo} https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaya-baloo-558492/</li> </ul> <p>The show is hosted by <a href='https://www.podbean.com/'>Podbean</a> and can be found at <a href='https://www.futurized.co/'>Futurized.co</a>.
