The WCIT Government Panel will host a dinner on 16th April in the Livery Room at the WCIT Hall featuring a talk by Panel member Glenn Bluff on post-quantum computing and data governance.  Glenn will explore the emerging implications of post-quantum cryptography, the governance challenges it presents, and the growing need for organisational readiness.  This timely topic sits at the intersection of national security, digital resilience and public policy, offering timely insight into the policy and technological challenges shaping the Government’s digital future.   The evening will also mark the formal handover of the Chair and Secretary roles to their new incumbents, providing an opportunity to thank the outgoing Chair for his service and to welcome the new leadership team as the Panel looks ahead to the coming year.
