Waters, with a background in nuclear engineering, industrial engineering, telecommunications, and software, brings a wealth of expertise to the conversation. His career spans diverse industries, and he has been awarded several patents, reflecting his innovative approach to problem-solving. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Aaron Kemp, Director in Enterprise Innovation and U.S. Quantum Lead at KPMG U.S., and will also feature David Harding, CEO and founder of Entrokey.
The KPMG Tech & Innovation Symposium is an annual, invitation-only event that brings together industry leaders to shape the future of business and technology. This year's symposium will cover a wide range of topics, including geopolitical landscapes, climate perspectives, AI, quantum computing, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing. The event aims to provide attendees with exclusive insights from renowned industry leaders and visionaries.
The panel on post-quantum cryptography will explore the current state of encryption, the limitations of traditional cryptographic methods, and the benefits and challenges of adopting PQC. Waters and other panelists will discuss how organizations can prepare for the quantum threat and future-proof their cybersecurity posture.
Patero, founded by Waters, offers a crypto-agile approach to post-quantum security, hybridizing classic encryption with NIST-standardized quantum-resistant algorithms to mitigate cryptographic vulnerabilities. The company's solutions aim to protect data-in-motion from present and future cryptographic attacks, making it a key player in the PQC landscape.
The symposium offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with strategic minds and gain insights into the forces shaping the future of technology. With Waters' participation, the panel is expected to provide valuable insights into the strategic implications of post-quantum cryptography and its role in securing the digital world.
