Join CompTIA for an interactive three-hour workshop that explores the intersection of Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Operational Technology (OT) and their growing impact on cybersecurity, resilience, and workforce development.
Across three focused sessions, attendees will gain practical insights into the technologies, trends, and skills currently shaping our digital infrastructure. Quantum computing is being used to model complex systems and solve problems in supply chains, manufacturing, and cybersecurity. AI is playing an increased role in modern threat detection and cyber defense. Organizations are grappling with the challenges of securing industrial and critical infrastructure environments. This workshop will provides a comprehensive snapshot at the realities organizations face today. Students, for example, will analyze packet captures and experiment with how AI tools perform in identifying attacks.
Designed for cybersecurity practitioners, technology leaders, operations professionals, and workforce development stakeholders, this workshop moves beyond theory to examine real-world use cases, implementation challenges, and actionable strategies that attendees can apply within their own organizations.
Participants will leave with:
- A practical understanding of quantum computing and its implications for cybersecurity, data science, and systems optimization.
- An overview of quantum-based activities, including user behavior modeling, incident response modeling, and network traffic analysis.
- Insights into how AI is transforming visibility, observability, threat detection, and incident response.
- A deeper understanding of the cultural and technical convergence of IT and Operational Technology / Industrial Control System environments.
- Strategies for addressing evolving attack surfaces, regulatory pressures, and critical infrastructure risks.
There will be a drawing at the end of the workshop for two (2) CompTIA exam vouchers for those that attend the session in person.
