I am proud to announce the release of the second Spotlight Edition of the CISOs Connect™ Magazine!! This edition showcases the achievements of #CISOs who are at the forefront of the industry, many of whom are recipients of the Top 100 CISO (C100) awards, recognizing global security leaders. This Spotlight not only celebrates their professional triumphs in safeguarding data and information against increasingly sophisticated threats but also highlights their personal passions and contributions outside of work. As Amy Teibel writes in her introduction, "These are our professional peers, but they are also men and women whose drive manifests itself in exciting hobbies like skydiving, and meaningful after-hours contributions to humanity through projects such as financing microbusinesses in Africa." In addition to sharing personal pursuits, the February 2024 CISO Spotlight Edition explores the journey of CISOs expanding their influence into venture investing, consulting, and other executive roles, underscoring the influential role these leaders play in enhancing global cybersecurity.

I attended your first Session, I believe this discussion is particularly timely, given NIST's published timeline for quantum-resistant cryptography and the pressing need for enterprises to act swiftly. However, implementing Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) requires an analysis of the current market to ensure the infrastructure can meet its demands. Your session could address key considerations, including hardware compatibility, network bandwidth and latency, security integration, scalability, and the appropriate USE CASES. A strategic assessment of these factors will help align QKD implementation with organizational objectives and emerging cryptographic standards, ensuring readiness for the quantum era.

As #quantum technologies mature, they offer vast potential to address global challenges. However, businesses must be vigilant about misuse by bad actors. In response to increasing threats, many big tech and telecom companies have upgraded their cybersecurity protocols with commercially available technologies and deployed quantum communication networks to prevent data harvesting and future decryption attempts. It's crucial for public and private sector leaders to explore quantum communications to secure their data now and in the future.
