Fortifying Cybersecurity with Quantum Technology

Vishak Raman, VP for India, SEA, and ANZ, Fortinet

15-Aug-24 11:00

Fortifying Cybersecurity with Quantum Technology

We explore the rising influence of quantum computing—a technology poised to revolutionise industries by tackling complex challenges that traditional computers can't address. With global investments in quantum computing expected to soar to $9.1 billion by 2030, this technology is becoming a serious contender alongside artificial intelligence. However, despite Malaysia's progressive policies in cybersecurity and digital transformation, quantum computing has largely been overlooked.

We discuss with Vishak Raman, VP for India, SEA, and ANZ at Fortinet, a leading cybersecurity company, about the barriers preventing the adoption of quantum computing in Malaysia. We talk about the potential benefits and drawbacks for local businesses, and envision a future where advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, and quantum computing become integral to modern business operations. Are we ready to embrace the quantum era? Tune in to find out.
