Quantum Optimisation for Cybersecurity, AI & Defence Decision Systems

As cybersecurity, AI, and defence systems grow more complex, the key operational constraint is no longer data or compute - it is making better decisions under real-world constraints.

From cyber defence resource allocation and command-and-control planning to AI governance and logistics resilience, many of today’s most critical challenges are fundamentally problems of combinatorial optimisation.

This executive event sets out how quantum optimisation techniques based on quantum annealing are available now, and how they can be applied today to deliver faster, higher-quality decisions in cybersecurity, AI, and defence settings.

Hosted by Quantum Security and Defence, the event convenes senior leaders and technologists to examine practical architectures, realistic use cases, and credible adoption pathways - cutting through hype to focus on operational advantage.

We will review case studies in defence, advanced AI, and cybersecurity, and provide a two-and-a-half-hour introductory programme on the role of quantum annealing in optimisation.
