“Organizations can no longer afford to view quantum computing and AI-driven threats as distant concerns”, said Walter Raquet, CEO of Symmatrics. “This annual banner event provides an important forum for advancing these conversations, and we are proud to support the event as a Platinum Sponsor.”

Symmatrics is redefining encryption for the AI and quantum eras. Built on deep technical expertise and a sense of urgency, its Integrated Trust Layer solves for emerging threats such as “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks as well as credential-based attacks given the solution eliminates trust certificates, usernames and passwords. The Symmatrics Encryption Protocol and Key Distribution Center leverage one-time-use true symmetric keys, which continuously expire and are reissued, to protect digital and critical infrastructure with the only proven mathematically unbreakable encryption.
