Quantum technology interest is accelerating for two key reasons: first, quantum technologies promise transformative capabilities. Indeed, quantum computing is seen as a strategic necessity by the world’s leading economies. Second, experts unanimously agree that a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer will have the capability to break classical encryption that keeps our data and transactions private. Thus, organizations are challenged to protect their most sensitive information data and systems before a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer is accessible to hackers despite already over-burdened cybersecurity teams.
Quantum Cybersecurity Program Management by Dr Greg Skulmoski and Dr Ashkan Memari is part of a series of books: Shields Up: Cybersecurity Project Management outlines a risk-based approach to cybersecurity project management including technology and process improvement projects. Cybersecurity Training: A Pathway to Readiness outlines best practices in training and instructional design to upskill the organization’s people. Quantum Cybersecurity builds upon Shields Up (technology and process) and Cybersecurity Training (people) to provide a program approach to deliver the diversity of quantum projects and initiatives organizations encounter.
The authors of Quantum Cybersecurity bring together best practices found in standards and frameworks in a risk-based approach to implementing a quantum program of projects. Tailored for quantum champions, IT security architects, business leaders, project managers, digital leadership, and board members, Quantum Cybersecurity offers actionable guidance. Urgent and early adopters will find a practical guide for a quick start to their quantum projects.
Gregory J. Skulmoski, PhD, has had two career paths: an academic who leads the Project Innovation Management graduate program at Bond University and has been a technology project manager. Greg led pioneering technology projects, including cybersecurity, IoT, Lean Six Sigma process improvement, and auditing/compliance projects. Greg used the tools and processes described in Quantum Cybersecurity Program Management to win the 2017 Middle East Security Award, CISO Council 100 Rising Stars in Security and Risk (for risk management in technology projects). Greg is the author of Shields Up: Cybersecurity Project Management and Cybersecurity Training: A Pathway to Readiness.
Ashkan Memari, PhD, MEng, BEng, FHEA, is an academic and researcher at Central Queensland University in Australia, with international experience across the Middle East, South Asia, and Australia. Ashkan's primary research area revolves around sustainability, and his expertise is underscored by the recognition of one of his articles in the field of sustainable supplier selection, which ranks among the top 10 most cited works globally in this field. Dr. Memari teaches a wide range of Project Management courses catering to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Ashkan focuses on lean implementation tools and techniques, and he has recently contributed to the academic landscape with his article entitled The Impact of Lean Production on Operational Performance.
