Internal Audit & Quantum Computing: Navigating Risks and Ensuring Resilience for the Future

The event on March 26, 2025, will address the growing risks and opportunities associated with quantum computing. As we enter what’s termed the “year of harvesting,” adversaries may store encrypted data for future decryption with quantum technology. To combat this, organizations must focus on quantum resilience to protect financial stability, ensure compliance, and safeguard their reputation. Internal Audit plays a crucial role in strengthening defenses against these evolving threats.

The webcast will explore how internal audits can assess quantum resiliency, inform audit committees, and guide organizations in managing quantum-related risks. Key topics will include understanding quantum computing’s impact, preparing for post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and adapting audit plans to assess quantum resilience. Participants will also learn best practices for improving security through tools, technical testing, and evaluating corrective action plans for quantum-related incidents. The session will help internal auditors respond to regulatory changes, manage quantum risks, and improve organizational resilience.
