The powerful and emerging world of quantum computing is on its way. Quantum computing is a technology that is set to redefine privacy, trust, and artificial intelligence. What does quantum computing really mean, how will it change the digital trust landscape, what will happen when organizations gain quantum capabilities, and how existing standards and laws can help us govern. Quantum computing is still in its early stages, but it promises to open new possibilities, bring new challenges, and create risks we need to understand today. 

To help us navigate this complex but exciting topic, host Punit Bhatia speaks with cybersecurity expert Ramsés Gallego about the exciting and challenging world of quantum computing. With over 25 years of experience in cybersecurity and technology governance, Ramsés brings not just knowledge, but incredible energy to the discussion — "quantum energy," as we like to say.
