POLITICO's Policy Outlook Cybersecurity The next technological frontier promises capabilities that far exceed supercomputers today. But cybersecurity experts warn criminals and adversarial governments could harness quantum computing and other advanced technologies to break through encryption and other defenses used to secure sensitive data. As the federal government, corporations, hospital systems and other institutions contend with persistent cyber attacks and data breaches, policymakers and executives alike must now prepare for the next wave of increasingly sophisticated threats. Join POLITICO for a policy briefing on the cybersecurity challenges posed by quantum computing and other emerging technologies, and how the U.S. and its allies are preparing to handle the risks. Program begins at 8:30 a.m. ET | Doors open at 8:00 a.m. ET | A government-issued ID will be required for entry.
