The Cleveland Clinic and IBM's third annual Discovery and Innovation Forum underscored significant advancements in leveraging AI and quantum computing to drive healthcare research and personalized medicine. A five-year partnership through the Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator has yielded over 50 research projects, numerous peer-reviewed publications, and workforce training programs focused on advanced computing. Researchers presented updates on various initiatives, including protein simulation, demonstrating the potential of quantum computing in accelerating biomedical breakthroughs. The forum highlighted the growing importance of quantum developments, such as those from IBM, in narrowing the timeline for cryptographic migration, thus increasing the urgency for planning and implementing post-quantum cryptography (PQC)1. This matters to cybersecurity practitioners as the looming threat of quantum computing to current cryptographic standards necessitates proactive planning and migration to quantum-resistant protocols to safeguard sensitive healthcare data.
