The session will discuss cybersecurity and resilience in an era of the adoption of cloud, third-party risks in the supply chain, and evolving emerging technologies such as AI. The section will also look over the horizon and examine risks associated with quantum computing.

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, organisations face unprecedented challenges in cybersecurity and resilience, given the integration of AI into our daily lives. Quantum Computing is making impressive progress, with quantum investments by governments estimated to be around US$42 billion as of June 2024.
 
As organisations increasingly adopt these new technologies including cloud computing, the cybersecurity landscape becomes vulnerable. The shift to cloud environments has introduced new challenges in safeguarding sensitive data and critical systems.

Key discussion points:
1. Recent supply chain compromises, software supply chain security, secure by design
2. Proliferating incident reporting requirements, and explore better ways of doing so
3. Interplay of cybersecurity and AI
4. Quantum computing: risks that it poses to cybersecurity
