IT Networking Committee Education & Meeting Sessions

AI + Quantum: The Security Threats You Can’t Afford to Ignore explores two rapidly evolving forces that are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape—and what security teams can do about them today. In this interactive two-hour session, attendees will examine the growing AI attack surface already present within enterprise environments, from AI-enabled applications and security tools to models, agents, and organizational AI usage. Participants will learn how to identify AI-related exposure and evaluate whether deployed technologies align with security policies and acceptable-use standards. The session then looks beyond today's threats to the emerging cryptographic risks posed by quantum computing. Attendees will learn how to identify systems, data, and cryptographic dependencies that may be vulnerable to future quantum attacks and how to begin prioritizing a transition toward post-quantum cryptographic standards. Finally, we will bridge AI and quantum security into a unified framework that organizations can apply to their existing security posture. Attendees will leave with practical approaches for implementing near-term AI security controls while simultaneously building a long-term quantum-readiness strategy. Live demonstrations—including our security assessment robot dog and interactive kiosk—will bring these concepts to life and show how emerging technologies can create both new capabilities and unexpected security risks. Learbing Objectives: 1. AI Security: Identify the AI attack surface present in your organization's existing tooling and evaluate whether deployed models align with your security policies and acceptable use standards. 2. Quantum Risk: Evaluate the cryptographic risks posed by quantum computing within your environment and develop a structured, prioritized action plan to transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic standards. 3. The AI and Quantum Bridge: Map the intersection of AI and quantum risk to your organization's current security posture and leave with a framework for enumerating near-term AI security controls alongside long-horizon quantum readiness activities.
