Drawing on Protiviti’s latest AI Pulse Surveys, we highlight where executives are investing and the challenges they see ahead. We then look at the policy landscape, including the potential impact of Trump’s “America First” AI strategy, before turning to how CFOs are navigating disruption in an AI-driven economy… Insights paper September 16, 2025 Explainable AI for EU AI Act compliance audits High-risk applications of artificial intelligence (AI) underscore the critical need for reliable, accountable, and transparent AI systems. A clear example is found in credit risk assessment, where AI systems are used to determine whether individuals are eligible for loans. These decisions can significantly impact people’s lives, making it essential that such systems are explainable and subject to… Podcast September 17, 2025 Podcast | Running Shor’s Algorithm on Logical Qubits — with Infleqtion For the first time, Shor’s Algorithm is running on logical qubits! The team at Infleqtion used their Sqale neutral atom processor to accomplish the feat. While the setup only uses six logical qubits, and we’re still in the range of factoring 15 or 21, this is both a proof of concept and a proof of the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We discuss the aggressive 2.5:1 physical-to-logical… Podcast September 22, 2025 FPS Podcast | CMMC Rule is Out - What Contractors Must Know With DOD Contracts On September 10th, 2025 the "CMMC Final Rule" was published in CFR48. After about seven years of starts and stops, determining Level classifications, the number of controls and compliance needed, CMMC certification is now set to be in certain DOD contracts starting November 10th. Cost of compliance has varied greatly, but when dealing with FCI and CUI data, this certification will protect that… Whitepaper November 18, 2025 Setting the 2026 Audit Committee Agenda As organisations grapple with rapid technological change, evolving regulations, and increasing risks in areas like AI, cybersecurity, and data privacy, audit committees are being called on to broaden their view of enterprise risk and governance.

Podcast November 26, 2025 Podcast | Whispering Quantum Keys … Is QKD Still Viable as PQC? — with LuxQuanta We cover post-quantum cryptography (PQC) regularly on this show, focusing on the new math-based ciphers that will secure the Internet as quantum computing becomes more powerful. But what about physics-based encryption or quantum key distribution (QKD)? Is that still a thing? We examine how exploiting the laws of quantum physics can securely exchange encryption keys over a fiber and explore the… Whitepaper December 1, 2025 Compliance Priorities for 2026: The Most Unpredictable Year Yet With nearly seven decades of combined experience in financial services compliance, we have witnessed both aggressive and accommodative regulatory cycles—and the transitions between them.
