Avasant Quantum Series: Decrypting the Quantum Threat – What Every CISO Must Know
While quantum computing could supercharge scientific discovery, materials design, and AI, it simultaneously threatens to break the foundation of today’s cybersecurity. Current encryption standards, such as RSA and ECC, which protect everything from online banking to classified government communications, rely on the near impossibility of solving certain mathematical problems with classical computers. But with quantum algorithms such as Shor’s algorithm, these problems can be solved exponentially faster, rendering today’s public-key encryption useless almost overnight. This looming threat has led to a new urgency in cybersecurity circles. Experts are calling it the Quantum Apocalypse—a scenario where powerful quantum computers could decrypt vast troves of previously secure data. Experts fear this scenario to be only decades away. The threat is not just in the future: data harvested today can be decrypted tomorrow once quantum machines are operational. The only way forward is to upgrade our cryptographic infrastructure before it is too late.

From Strategy to Business Value: AI Prioritization Considerations for CAIOs and CTOs
Strategic AI prioritization is undergoing a fundamental shift as enterprises move from experimentation to scaled, business-aligned transformation. Traditional scoring models and ROI frameworks are no longer sufficient to evaluate the complexity of generative AI and agentic AI initiatives. Instead, a multidimensional approach is emerging, one that aligns use case selection with enterprise goals, assesses talent readiness, and embeds responsible AI practices from the start. By adopting this integrated model, CAIOs and CTOs can drive scalable, sustainable, and outcome-focused AI adoption across the organization.

Unlocking Efficiencies for AI Implementation in Procurement Optimization
By the end 2025, over 60% of procurement decisions will be influenced by AI, yet most organizations still struggle to implement it effectively. Procurement leaders face a paradox: Artificial Intelligence promises transformation, but only when implemented with surgical precision. The hype is over—AI is now a board-level mandate actively reshaping how procurement functions, but turning promise into performance demands more than interest; it requires executive clarity. In our last article, we explored how AI creates value. This time, we’re focused on how to unlock it. From fragmented data and compliance constraints to change resistance and misaligned processes, the road to AI success is lined with pitfalls. What separates the leaders is a practical, people-first approach—one that aligns technology with business goals, ensures stakeholder trust, and delivers measurable impact.
