Best of LinkedIn: ICT & Tech Insights CW 37/ 38

We curate most relevant posts about ICT & Tech Insights on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition is brought to you by our partner T-Systems. Don't miss out on their webinar – IT Sovereignty: Served to the Point, on October 1: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1142795452279011677?source=Outreach This edition provides a broad overview of current issues in cybersecurity, quantum computing, and emerging technologies. A central theme in cybersecurity is the widespread adoption and principles of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), which experts advocate as essential for modern defence against evolving threats, including those posed by AI agents and complex supply chain vulnerabilities. The sources highlight the urgent need for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), given that quantum computing is rapidly maturing and poses an existential threat to current encryption methods like RSA and ECC, particularly in the financial services and crypto sectors. Furthermore, the texts explore the practical application of emerging technologies, such as Edge Computing for real-time decision-making in manufacturing and IoT, and the demonstrated potential of quantum computing in finance for algorithmic trading, while also discussing the material science challenges hindering quantum progress and the need for secure digital identity in critical infrastructure.
