Securing the Future: AI & Quantum Security in the Enterprise
The AI revolution is here — and so are the threats that come with it. From prompt injection and MCP protocol exploits to the looming quantum computing threat to today's encryption standards, the security landscape is shifting fast. Are you ready?
Join Gopher Security for an evening of sharp conversation, real-world insights, and honest discussion about what it actually takes to secure AI systems and prepare for the post-quantum era.
What We'll Cover:
🔐 AI Security — How agentic AI and tools like Model Context Protocol (MCP) are expanding the attack surface, and what Zero Trust architecture looks like in an AI-native world.
⚛️ Quantum Threats — Why "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks are already underway, what post-quantum cryptography (PQC) means for your organization, and the compliance timelines you need to know.
🛡️ Practical Playbooks — Tactical steps security leaders and engineering teams can take today to get ahead of both threats.
Who Should Attend:
CISOs, security engineers, AI/ML engineers, DevSecOps teams, founders building in the AI stack, and anyone responsible for protecting sensitive data in a rapidly changing threat environment.
Agenda:
05:00 - 06:00 pm: Food and Drinks
06:00 - 06:15 pm: Gopher MCP
06:15 - 06:30 pm: Research Net AI: Athena and Metis
06:30 - 07:00 pm: Bluefors: Dr. Nurul Huda
07:00 - 07:45 pm: Slater Technologies: William Farve Slater. III
07:45 - 09:00 pm: Networking: Adda: Meeting of the Minds
