Galactic cybersecurity with Responsible AI

AI is scaling faster than our defences, especially in a galaxy where every system becomes a potential attack surface. This talk introduces a Secure‑by‑Design Framework for AI Systems, engineered around six critical domains: Prompt Security, Model Guardrails, Least‑Privilege Architecture, Training Security, Application‑Level Controls, and Continuous Monitoring. These domains form a practical, engineering‑ready blueprint that helps teams build AI capabilities that survive real‑world adversaries, audits, and operational chaos.
We’ll then look at three AI system architectures, each mapped against the framework. Which one hides a catastrophic supply‑chain failure? Which barely passes an audit? Which one actually invested in red teaming? The failures, pressures, and threat models are pulled straight from real patterns seen across multiple industries and are based on the best that science fiction architecture has to offer.

Quantum foam on cloud infrastructure

The session will focus on Post Quantum implications on encryption in the Cloud infrastructure use case highlighting:
- Migration plan & priorities
- Timelines and dependencies
- Business Risk Analysis
- Technical Challenges for PQC Migration
- Sensitive Data Discovery
- Cryptographic inventory
- PKI and legacy implications

The use case is part of the soon to the published 4th GSMA PQTN whitepaper on Post Quantum Cryptography and provides a set of best practice guidelines on Quantum safe cryptography migration for 17 use cases specific to the telecom industry.

It builds on the previous 3 whitepapers published in 2023 and 2024 and takes into consideration the risk assessment framework(s) being adopted by the wider industry and the implementation roadmap for PQC. The document highlights the known technical challenges and areas of uncertainty, to raise awareness with stakeholders. Within each use case there is a detailed analysis of aspects such as standards, government guidelines, functional architecture and performance implications.

As the paper is completed and due to be published in early September (ongoing approvals at GSMA level) I cannot share it at this stage. I have added below the previous 3 papers we published as a reference and can share the 4th one as soon as it is published.

Future Developments: Implications of AI, PQC, Biometrics and Identity Management

Short session on Post Quantum Computing, Crypto-agility and sensitive data.

In our fast-paced digital world, our online identities are always at risk. From concerns about AI to the challenges of quantum computing, we need to be prepared. Start by sorting your data. Know what you have and how it is encrypted. Only then can you start thinking about crypto-agility and how to withstand quantum computing attacks.
