Dr. Heike Riel, IBM Fellow, Head Science & Technology, IBM

Quantum computing is advancing rapidly from scientific research toward practical applications, creating significant opportunities across industries while raising cybersecurity challenges. This presentation will explore the current state of the technology, recent demonstrations of quantum applications and quantum advantage, the risks quantum computers pose to today’s cryptography, and the actions organizations should take now to prepare for a post-quantum future.

Martin Bosshardt, CEO of Anapaya – The SCION Company, will open the session with an introduction to how AI-accelerated cyberattacks are increasing cyber risks for the financial sector. Reducing Internet exposure of critical infrastructure and applications is increasingly important. He will then welcome UBS leaders to the stage to explore how the bank is leveraging SCION technology to strengthen cyber resilience and secure critical connectivity globally.

UBS speakers:

– Nicolas Cramer, Head / Crew Product Lead Transferring Money, Managing Director, UBS

– Adrian Kamm, Head – Group Real Estate and Supply Chain Platforms & Shared Services, Managing Director, UBS

– Thomas Wacker, Core Network Engineering, Director, UBS

Cyberlink is bringing SCION from Switzerland to Europe and beyond. Together with our European partners Inter.link and Anexia Cloud Solutions, we are demonstrating how companies can already order SCION today at over 56 points of presence in Europe and North America — via cross-connect or through their local cloud or connectivity provider on-site. Cyberlink operates SCION cores, edges, and PathGuard services on its global backbone. From the current 11 locations, scaling within the partner network can easily be expanded to 74 locations in 50 countries. Speakers on stage:

– Thomas Knüsel, CEO, Cyberlink
– Lejla Ramic, Director Sales, Anexia Cloud Solutions
– Theo Voss, CEO & Co-Founder, Inter.link

As organizations face growing pressure to strengthen cyber resilience, ensure digital sovereignty, and protect critical communications, many are rethinking the foundations of their network infrastructure. In this panel discussion, organizations that have deployed SCION will share their experiences, from the initial business case and technical evaluation to deployment, operations, and long-term value.
