About This Session

State-sponsored cyberespionage, IP theft and foreign cap-table contamination pose severe operational risks to deeptech companies. As quantum technologies move from lab environments to commercial deployment, securing internal perimeters and establishing strict governance controls are mandatory for long-term business resilience and capital access.

This executive session focuses on hardening your company’s internal technical assets against exfiltration while managing personnel, vendor and foreign investment risks.
