CYBERSECURITY IN POST-QUANTUM WORLD

Quantum computing represents a groundbreaking advancement with profound implications for various industries, particularly in cybersecurity. While promising faster computing capabilities, it also introduces new security challenges. One of its primary impacts is on cryptography, where traditional methods relying on hard mathematical problems may become vulnerable to quantum attacks.

This includes widely used protocols like RSA and ECC, prompting the development of quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms such as lattice-based cryptography and quantum key distribution. Furthermore, quantum computing enables new forms of attacks like Shor's and Grover's algorithms, necessitating the exploration of post-quantum cryptography solutions.

Despite the challenges, investing in research and development is crucial to ensuring the security of critical systems and data amidst this transformative technology.

FROM FIREWALLS TO BRICK WALLS - AVOIDING WEAK LINKS IN YOUR REAL-WORLD SECURITY.

The security of any environment is only as strong as its weakest link. There is little point in having the world's most carefully designed cyber security posture if the door to your server room wouldn't stand up to a well-aimed kick. This paper explores how "Information Security" has been forgotten in the race to use the sexier term "Cyber" - forgetting the impact of paper files, spoken words, and building security management.

SAAS AND PAAS THREATS - STATE OF THE NATION

The purpose of this session is to present a comprehensive "State of the Nation" analysis of the current SaaS and PaaS Threat Landscape. Attendees of the session will gain insights derived from ongoing Incident Response engagements of recent, current, and projected threats.
We will dissect the nuanced Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures employed by adversaries specific to SaaS and PaaS platforms. This session will offer strategic insights that extend beyond the basics of SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM).
