These companies are known for performing the gritty work of producing, maintaining and repairing oil-extracting equipment. They also provide drilling, energy discovery, well maintenance and other vital services to oil and gas companies. But a growing number of… Blogs August 8, 2022 ESG Journey Just Beginning, but Leaders Have a Clear Competitive Advantage As companies come under growing pressure to make measurable, reportable (and reported) progress on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, there is increased demand on business leaders to implement effective sustainability practices that resonate with customers, partners and employees. Technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) companies have not been immune to the pressure.… Podcast Transcript July 4, 2022 Transcript | The Board’s Role in Building a Culture of Sustainability Corporate culture, once a rather squishy, hard-to-define concept for organisations, increasingly is a top-of-mind concern for leaders looking to create a desirable workplace for innovation and one where employees who have many choices want to remain long-term. The challenges are especially acute amid the current war for talent and the need to attract and retain the best people. And part of… Podcast July 21, 2022 Risky Women Podcast | CRA and Fair Lending: Mary Bailey Shelley Metz-Galloway, US lead of Protiviti’s regulatory compliance practice, talks with Mary Bailey, regulatory compliance expert, about the US Community Reinvestment Act and how upcoming changes to the rule should improve access to credit and have a big impact on banks’ compliance and reporting. They also take a look at the status of international efforts toward fair lending. Mary Bailey CRCM,… Whitepaper August 1, 2022 Sanctions enforcement: A new era U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco has called sanctions “the new FCPA.” [1] The EU has issued a proposal that would make sanctions evasion an EU crime [2] . The U.K.’s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) is under pressure from key global partners to step up its enforcement activity [3]. These developments are just a few of the signs that the national… Whitepaper August 1, 2022 Protecting the Enterprise: How a Well-Designed Security Analytics Programme Can Help The purpose of security analytics in an organisation Security metrics and the analysis of security information can be challenging concepts even for leading organisations. As information security professionals, most of us have been taught that in order to have a mature information security function we must both document and measure the organisation’s security capabilities. If policies are the… Podcast Transcript October 5, 2022 Transcript | Trapping Ions for Powerful Quantum Computing It’s hard to improve the purity of an atom. Identical and easy to find, atoms such as those in ytterbium can make flawless qubits. We only need to be able to trap and control them. Can using trapped ions as qubits therefore yield the most powerful quantum computers on the planet? How scalable is this approach on the road to quantum advantage? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about… Podcast Transcript October 5, 2022 Transcript | Coding High Performance, Post-Quantum Secure Blockchain Systems In coding, libraries make developers’ lives easier, sparing them thousands of lines of code, while also increasing performance and security. And everyone’s concerned with security as fault-tolerant quantum computing approaches. Geometry Labs has released the “lattice-algebra” library to bring a high-performance cryptographic library to developers interested in using post-quantum cryptography in… Podcast Transcript October 5, 2022 Transcript | Quantum Interconnect with Entangled Networks Things can get tricky when you try to cram too many qubits onto one quantum processor. Is the best way to build a machine with thousands of qubits actually to connect or “interconnect” many smaller processors together? And can this concept be extended to interconnect several large-scale machines across vast distances? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the technology that might… Podcast Transcript July 13, 2022 Transcript | Quantum Supply Chain Optimisation and Other Use Cases Supply-chain issues are plaguing the world right now, across all industries, from manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and more. Can quantum computing offer a way to ease the burden and provide real customer advantage? Evidence seems to suggest so. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about this use case, and other innovative ones you may not have heard of, with Alex Khan from ZebraKet… Load More
