Tech Talk Series: The Case for Quantum, by Tony Lawrence, CEO of VOR Technology
Date: January 22, 2019 | 3 - 4:30pm | Location: DreamPort Facility in Columbia MD
Abstract
State-of-the-Art cybersecurity is enough to safeguard our Internet treasure against most threats, but not against all threats. Well-resourced nation states are able to defeat many of what we consider the 'best' defenses. Even most cybersecurity experts concede that we need to operate under the assumption that "the bad guy will get in". HOW is THAT OK? It isn't! Many of our adversaries – particularly the Chinese – are exploiting us on a daily basis – and it is time to bring it to an end. There is one way to do that, and it is NOT tomorrow's technology. We need to make Quantum Communications a reality for U.S. Cybersecurity – TODAY.
