SUMMARY:Q-Day: Quantum Computing\, AI and Cybersecurity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Young\, ISC2 Representative and COO of Quantum eMotion America \nHosted by UCI \nModerator: Hillary Chansavang\, UCI \nWhat is Q-Day\, and why is the government preparing for it now? The day that quantum computers can crack current digital encryption\, and plainly read our most valuable secrets\, has been tagged as Q-Day. Every government\, business\, and individual on Earth can be negatively affected\, and the question is\, even if there are post-quantum solutions available\, is there time to put them in place? \nEver see the movie “Catch Me If You Can”? As a teenager\, for 3 years John Young and a friend successfully hacked the AT&T network\, until the FBI scared him straight into a 40-year cybersecurity career. The former network director of McDonnell Douglas’s $41 billion C-17 program\, John later retired after decades at IBM\, and then became one of only 11 cybersecurity experts worldwide to earn all nine ISC2 certifications. Named to the board of directors at Quantum eMotion\, John recently became COO for its new US subsidiary based in Irvine\, Quantum eMotion America. It’s mission: to use our cutting edge technology to save lives\, protect data\, and prepare industries for the onslaught of the dreaded\, but inevitable\, Q-Day…the day when every digital lock on Earth can be broken by quantum computers.
