Presentation slides from the recent Quantum Cyber Risk Conference are now available to view.

The conference explored the growing implications of quantum computing for cyber risk and the insurance market, examining how advances in quantum capabilities could challenge existing cryptographic standards and what organisations can do to prepare for a quantum-safe future.

Topics explored included:

• the current state of quantum computing and the urgency of post-quantum preparedness
• the future of encryption and post-quantum cryptography
• the evolving UK and EU regulatory landscape for cyber resilience
• business, legal and insurance implications of quantum risk, including ‘harvest now, decrypt later’
• the impact on underwriting, policy wordings, claims and exposure management
• collaboration between insurers, technology providers and organisations to prepare for the transition to a post-quantum future.
