Quantum Technology: Advancing National Security

Please join "Quantum Technology: Advancing National Security" presented by Holland & Knight's Quantum Computing Team, Quantum Coast Capital and the Quantum Industry Coalition on January 12 in Washington, D.C.

This conference launches our "Year of Quantum Security" and will address two critical national security imperatives:

• Security from Quantum: Defending against future quantum threats with post-quantum cryptography (PQC)
• Security for Quantum: Assisting quantum technology companies in protecting their intellectual property from adversaries

Our program will feature key government stakeholders from the FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Following their remarks, a panel of quantum business leaders will provide guidance on aligning with federal and international perspectives on PQC and safeguarding quantum technology and the intellectual property associated with it.

This event is vital for professionals in the quantum ecosystem, national security and businesses concerned with protecting sensitive data. The conference will conclude with a cocktail reception.
