Generative AI & Quantum Risks: Are You Prepared for the Next Wave of Cybersecurity?

The rise of generative AI is changing the industry and opening doors to creativity and innovation that seemed unattainable just a few years ago. Yet, for security leaders, this shift isn’t just about seizing opportunities, it’s also about adapting to new threats. As AI capabilities evolve, there are as many security gaps as there are breakthrough solutions.

In the past, data security focused on privacy compliance and robust encryption practices — measures that ensured sensitive information remained private. But with the expansion of generative AI capabilities, these tried and tested approaches are reaching their limits. As developers link AI models to enterprise data, the potential vulnerabilities grow, and with them the cybersecurity risks that can impact all levels of an organisation. It is therefore not surprising that 84% of companies consider cybersecurity to be the most important concern in their AI strategies. This shift reveals a hard truth: the limitless potential of AI also requires a recalibration of what it means to keep data truly secure.

As if the complexity of generative AI wasn’t enough, organisations are now faced with another challenge: the dawn of quantum computing. While this emerging technology is still in its early stages, it promises to revolutionise computation — but not without a price. Quantum computers will eventually be able to crack conventional encryption algorithms that currently protect our most sensitive data. This isn’t just a distant, theoretical threat; forward-thinking companies are already preparing for this disruption, recognising that the encryption methods we rely on may soon be rendered obsolete.

The convergence of AI and quantum risks makes it clear that the time to strengthen data security strategies is now — not when the threat becomes unmanageable.

Data Security Reimagined: A New Approach
Recent technological advances require a fresh look at how we protect data and secure infrastructures. On 28^th November 2024 at 2:00 pm (KL/SG time), IBM will present an important webinar to help organisations address these new challenges. This is not just about responding to threats, but also about preparing for a future where all data is assessed for risk and all vulnerabilities are proactively addressed.

In this session, IBM will share actionable strategies to help you safeguard your operations and ensure you are ready for whatever comes next in the digital revolution.

Join us as Chris Hockings, IBM’s APAC Security CTO, shares his expertise on building a data security program that not only protects your assets, but also proves its value every step of the way. Using a detailed timeline, Chris will show you how to align your security investments with tangible results to ensure your organisation stays ahead of emerging threats. You’ll also be among the first to see the newly announced Guardium Data Security Center in action, setting a new standard for data protection in the digital age with AI-driven security solutions and QuantumSafe software.

Who Should Attend This Webinar?
This webinar is essential for anyone involved in data security and risk management, from security analysts to IT executives. If you are responsible for protecting sensitive data, assessing cybersecurity risks or developing data governance frameworks, this session will be of great value to you. In addition, professionals interested in the impact of generative AI and quantum computing on data protection will gain key insights and actionable strategies to navigate these evolving challenges.
