What the Board Needs to Know About Quantum Science
With the release of the new National Cybersecurity Strategy, the White House has declared war on systemic cyber risk. The government plans on working with commercial firms to reduce systemic risk while enabling businesses to smartly increase the value they deliver to stakeholders. The need to improve resiliency in the age of advanced technologies (including quantum computing) is a central pillar of this new strategy. This includes preparing for our post-quantum future.
Shifts in regulations including new SEC guidance mandating corporate board action in cybersecurity means all boards will need a better understanding of why quantum preparedness needs to start now. This panel will examine board governance in the quantum age, providing insights into:
- Why preparing for a post-quantum future figured so prominently in the national cybersecurity strategy
- What all board members need to know about quantum effects
- How technology executives can better communicate quantum risks with nontechnical executives including members of the board
- What board members should know about Shor's algorithms and ongoing Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL) attacks.
- What CISOs should be asking the board for now to improve quantum resilience
You "Shor"-ly won’t want to miss your opportunity to enjoy a delicious breakfast, hear from top quantum leaders, and network with executives and cyber professionals.

Daniel Apon is Cryptography Lead at the MITRE Corporation, based in McLean, Virginia, and is currently involved in MITRE's effort to stand up a long-term and full-scope industry coalition to accelerate the real-world adoption of Post Quantum Cryptography. Recently, he played a central role in standing up the 1st annual Real World Post Quantum Cryptography workshop in Tokyo (March 2023), which aims to bring together industry, academia, and standardization bodies to help address the core challenges involved in migrating modern computing systems and architectures to total quantum-resistance.
Prior to that, he was a member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryptographic Technologies Group working on the Post Quantum Cryptography standardization project, where he specialized in novel cryptanalyses of Lattice-based Cryptography, Hash-based Cryptography, Code-based Cryptography, and Multivariate-based Cryptography plus a focus on hardware side-channel analysis.
Daniel holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science with a focus on Cryptography from the University of Maryland, College Park. After that, he held a Postdoctoral Scholar position at the University of California, Berkeley.
Breakfast for a Cause
Profits made will be donated to the International Cybersecurity Championship and Conference (IC3). IC3 is a global event designed to foster awareness, skills development, and career opportunities in cybersecurity. It proactively addresses the critical workforce issues in the industry, speaking to both the ongoing skills shortage and the need for continued cybersecurity skills development.
