ASEAN’s Post-Quantum Future: Securing Communications in an Era of Disruptive Change

23 Oct 2025
Level 3, Room GW4 | Sands Expo and Convention Centre
Securing the Future: Navigating Trust and Resilience in a Quantum World
As ASEAN economies surge toward digital evolution—embracing smart cities, 5G & cross-border data exchange—the foundation of secure communications is facing an existential challenge. The rise of quantum computing is not a distant possibility; it's an imminent reality that threatens to dismantle traditional encryption, leaving government data, diplomatic channels & commercial transactions vulnerable to unprecedented risks - including 'harvest now, decrypt later' threats.

This session will examine the profound implications of quantum computing on SEA's cybersecurity landscape and the urgent need for proactive preparation & public-private sector synergy in approaching post quantum cryptography (PQC) migration.

In a region of diverse technological maturity, escalating cyber threats & heightened geopolitical risk, building quantum-resilient communications is not only a technical necessity—it is fundamental to national security, economic stability & ASEAN’s collective digital sovereignty.
