In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the Zero Trust model has emerged as a cornerstone principle, dictating that trust must never be implicit and must be continually earned. This webinar, “Operationalizing Zero Trust: Securing Containers in Runtime,” delves into the practical applications of Zero Trust architecture within live container workloads, an area fraught with potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors. Joi...

This talk will outline user-centric motivations and requirements that drive the development of technologies for full-stack interfacing and integration of quantum computing platforms with HPC systems from hardware, software to applications and skills. European activities driven through the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking as well as global activities such as the IEEE Quantum-HPC Working Group will be presented alongside the technological challenges an...

In today’s increasingly interconnected digital era, our nation faces unprecedented cyber risks. Despite the apparent simplicity of our world, technology continues to grow more intricate, amplifying the threats we encounter. Both external and internal cyber threats are escalating, compounded by reductions in IT budgets redirected to support global conflicts. Our digital supply chains, reliant on IT infrastructure, are prime targets for ha...

The cybersecurity landscape has undergone significant transformations resulting in compliance regulations mandating the adoption of the NIST Secure Software Development Framework framework, with a special emphasis on implementing a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). In this discussion, we will explore the importance of perceiving cybersecurity as a mission-centric challenge that extends beyond mere compliance checklists. Join us as we discuss...

This talk will focus on the powerful intersection of quantum computing, AI, and scientific exploration. We’ll begin with an overview of Strangeworks, an advanced compute software company removing the barriers to utilize quantum, quantum-inspired, and classical technologies. We’ll then discuss our recent work on quantum for solving optimization problems, and showcase our upcoming AI developments designed to make the capabilities of...

We will open with a brief recap on what is the Integrated Value Network (IVN) presented by the team, followed by panel questions and audience Q&A. We will close with a brief IVN demo.

I will present an overview of a report for the Canadian Council of Academies on what opportunities and challenges do quantum technologies present in light of current trends affecting their evolution? In particular I will focus on the following three questions: What does the current evidence and knowledge suggest regarding promising and leading practices that could be applied to drive and accelerate the adoption of quantum technologies? What ar...

Please join us for ATARC’s first virtual Live Build challenge! Teams will be tasked with building an innovative application in real-time using Unqork’s codeless development platform. Applications will showcase how the government can leverage codeless development to rapidly drive impactful mission modernization. Audience will be shuffled through each team’s room as they build, with an opportunity to watch and ask questions. Th...
