In a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, the integration of compliance and legal functions has never been more crucial. In the latest installment of the Protiviti Legal Perspectives podcast series, podcast host Chad Volkert and Protiviti Managing Directors Tom Giltrow and Caitlin Kirkham-Cooper delve into how legal and compliance departments can work in tandem to navigate the complex regulatory environments of…

Want to be a quantum coder? There’s no shortage of tutorials for your chosen programming language, but when you complete them, you might not feel ready to solve real-world problems. It’s challenging to go from a scientific paper to practical code and to do so with results that impress your company. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Mariia Mykhailova, a software engineer from Microsoft Quantum who’s…

Quantum information science deals with the world of the very small, sure, but imagine 128 acres of land devoted to advancing QIS. Now imagine this mega complex in a major city! The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park is expected to draw leading companies and researchers to Chicago, and DARPA is already playing a significant role. Find out what this will mean for advancing the industry and the race to fault-…

An increasingly important issue for board members to address today is sustainability – specifically, sustainable sourcing and operations. These challenges not only have global compliance implications, but also brand and reputation issues, which are especially important to the board.In this episode, we speak with Protiviti’s Radhi Subramanian and Debjani Mallick about strategic and sustainable sourcing, including the…

Since 2018, the United States has had a national strategy for excellence in quantum information science that includes getting the science right, enhancing competitiveness, and enabling people. To achieve that aim, regions across the country have begun ramping up their efforts to become quantum silicon valleys. Find out how Colorado stacks up in advancing the quantum stack, and how recent federal and state funding…

Imagine a mesh network of AI-powered nodes that could validate the security of your organisation’s systems and applications. It’s a clever use of blockchain to add security to real-world devices, and, best of all, it will feature post-quantum cryptography. How soon will this technology simplify security for businesses and governments worldwide? And might this kind of approach even prevent killer robots? Join host…

A look at the top priorities for CFOs and finance leaders in the coming year — among them, security and privacy of data, financial and strategic planning and analysis, leadership, and enhanced data analytics — reveals a tale of transformation for CFOs whose responsibilities continue to widen.

Microsoft Azure Quantum has provided access to quantum computers in the cloud for about four years. A lot has changed in that time, including the generative AI revolution. It’s now possible to create quantum circuits with the help of Copilot and users can work on advanced scientific problems in Azure Quantum Elements by combining quantum computing, high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and AI. Microsoft is also…

They’re here! After a seven-year process, NIST has finally released the first standards for post-quantum cryptography. The industry is excited and optimistic about the future, but what does it mean for you and your organisation? In an interview recorded right before the August 13 release, you’ll hear how we got here with the quantum computing threat, what standards were selected and what additional ciphers are…

Skeptical about practical quantum computing applications? Perhaps D-Wave could change your mind. Over 100 real corporate customers are using their quantum annealing systems and software platform today … in production.
