As companies make challenging decisions about where to allocate their tech investments, is quantum computing still part of your organization's landscape? 

Unlike certain other technologies in the spotlight, quantum computing still faces a long gestation period before it might see a tsunami of adoption and deployment. Though it may be years before quantum computers become commercially available, the tech is expected to upend cybersecurity -- and that has many companies in planning mode.

Eric Liebowitz, CISO at Thales, and Rob Kim, CTO at Presidio, recently sat down with InformationWeek Podcast to discuss quantum computing. They shared their perspectives on whether their organizations have shifted tech investments into other resources and needs that offer more near-term ROI, or if plans for quantum computing remain part of the strategy.  

Liebowitz and Kim responded to questions about how their organizations expect quantum computing to benefit their operations. They also discussed how they have already prepped for quantum's place in their tech stacks, and what they consider reasonable time frames for the technology to fulfill some of its expectations.

They then faced off with the Questionable Ideas tabletop exercise, where they adopted the roles of interim executives at the fictional company to navigate the tech turmoil caused by the goblins, kobolds and gremlins on staff.
