Quantum technology interest is accelerating for two key reasons: first, quantum technologies promise transformative capabilities. Indeed, quantum computing is seen as a strategic necessity by the world's leading economies. Second, experts unanimously agree that a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer will have the capability to break classical encryption that keeps our data and transactions private. Thus, organizations are challenged to protect their most sensitive information data and systems before a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer is accessible to hackers despite already over-burdened cybersecurity teams.Quantum Cybersecurity Program Management by Dr Greg Skulmoski and Dr Ashkan Memari is part of a series of books: Shields Up: Cybersecurity Project Management outlines a risk-based approach to cybersecurity project management including technology and process improvement projects. Cybersecurity Training: A Pathway to Readiness outlines best practices in training and instructional design to upskill the organization's people. Quantum Cybersecurity builds upon Shields Up (technology and process) and Cybersecurity Training (people) to provide a program approach to deliver the diversity of quantum projects and initiatives organizations encounter.The authors of Quantum Cybersecurity bring together best practices found in standards and frameworks in a risk-based approach to implementing a quantum program of projects. Tailored for quantum champions, IT security architects, business leaders, project managers, digital leadership, and board members, Quantum Cybersecurity offers actionable guidance. Urgent and early adopters will find a practical guide for a quick start to their quantum projects.

The demand for cybersecurity expertise is growing phenomenally; enhancing cybersecurity project skills will boost technology professionals'careers and improve organizational cybersecurity readiness.Shields Up: Cybersecurity Project Management provides an end-to-end framework tuned for cybersecurity projects. More experienced cybersecurity professionals will appreciate the innovative and lean elements of this approach. The reader is guided through the delivery, management, and optimization approach that increases the probability of cybersecurity project success.Cybersecurity project management in Shields Up brings together international frameworks such as the Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, ITIL 4 Service Management, the ISO 27001 Information Security Management, ISO 31000 Risk Management, and ISO 9000 Quality Management. A key benefit of this book is the reader can quickly apply the hybrid project management approach since it combines global frameworks already followed by cybersecurity professionals leading to successful projects. Never before has cybersecurity project management been so important.
