Quantum Risks: What's real, what's not, and what you should do

2025 was the International Year of Quantum, but arguably 2026 should be the Year of Post-Quantum. In this talk we will explore the cyber security risks that quantum technology could create, and dispel some common myths about what you need to worry about and what the potential solutions are. We will then look at practical steps that organisations can take to understand and manage their risks, and dive into the latest guidance from ACSC on this topic and how this should be interpreted and applied.
