Quantum security has gone from being a theoretical idea filed away for some unknown future date to an urgent requirement driven by quantum computing advances and government and industry guidance. The thought of nation-state adversaries with a quantum computer that can conduct harvest-now-decrypt later attacks and forge digital signatures makes the threat more real than ever to executives, who have started to ask security leaders, “Are we quantum safe?”

With Q-day estimates now within 10 years and moving ever closer — and with NIST deprecating existing asymmetric algorithm support in 2030 (and disallowing it entirely by 2035), as well as the increasing nation-state threat — what should security leaders be doing now?

Sandy Carielli, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why technology leaders must work together to prepare for Q-Day. Addressing quantum security requirements is not just a job for the security team. Security, infrastructure, development, emerging tech, risk, and procurement have roles to play in executing a holistic quantum security strategy. Sandy will cover their report, which security leaders should use, to gain executive buy-in and build and execute a quantum security migration plan with stakeholders across the organization.

When it comes to agents and MCPs, the interesting security discussion isn't that they need strong authentication and authorization, but what that authn/z story should look like, where does it get implemented, and who implements it. Dan Moore shares the useful parallels in securing APIs that should be brought into the world of MCPs -- especially because so many are still interacting with APIs.

For decades, leadership was judged by outputs such as profit, speed, and results. But the real competitive advantage now lies beneath the surface of your P&L: Your culture, trust, and psychology driving every decision, including cybersecurity.

Hacia Atherton, the author of The Billion Dollar Blind$pot, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the invisible human costs — fear, burnout, disengagement — quietly draining performance. She will discuss the silent costs of outdated leadership and gives you a playbook to fix them for good, including:

• Self Leadership
• Psychological Success with Emotional Mastery
• Co-designing a Culture to Thrive

Leaders need to turn emotional intelligence into a measurable business strategy. Because emotional intelligence isn’t optional anymore, it’s operational.
