    and values What does it take to be successful at IsoLabs? It's not
    about finding people who think and act in the same way, but we do
    have some shared values: Thoughtful: Thoughtful at Iso is about
    curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good,
    rigorous and future-making science every single day. Brave: Brave
    at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and
    integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.
    Determined: Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a
    confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility
    needed to deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither
    should we. Together: Together at Iso is about connection,
    collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s
    knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering
    that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people
    everywhere. Creating an inclusive company We realise that to be

    populations we are striving to serve. We’re working to build a
    supportive and inclusive environment where collaboration is
    encouraged and learning is shared. We value diversity of
    experience, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives and harness
    these qualities to create extraordinary impact. We are committed to

    marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation,
    gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including
    breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. It’s
    hugely important for us to be able to share knowledge and establish
    relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if
    we spend time together in person. This is why we’ve decided to
    follow a hybrid model, and for full time positions we would require
    you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently
    Tue, Wed, and one other day depending on which team you’re in). For
    part time positions this may vary. Please note that when you submit

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Cyber Security: Guarding the Digital Frontier

The cyber security landscape has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Long gone are the days when businesses primarily worried about simplistic phishing or basic website defacements. Today’s threats include nation-state attacks, sophisticated ransomware, AI-generated phishing campaigns, and a wide array of stealthy intrusion methods. Organisations must defend vast digital ecosystems that include cloud infrastructure, IoT devices, and critical operational technology—any of which can become high-value targets for malicious actors. Amid these escalating challenges, a new technological wave is emerging: quantum computing. Although still in its infancy, quantum computing promises capabilities that could surpass even the most advanced classical supercomputers for specific tasks. Simultaneously, in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—where data volumes and model complexity are exploding—quantum’s parallelism could significantly boost analysis, training, and decision-making. What unfolds when quantum computing and AI converge in the realm of cyber security? On one hand, quantum technologies could introduce stronger encryption and faster threat detection. On the other, adversaries armed with quantum power might break today’s cryptographic protocols or develop more potent attacks at unimaginable speeds. This article explores the phenomenon of quantum-enhanced AI for cyber security: the possibilities it unlocks, the challenges it poses, and the reasons it could reshape both defensive and offensive operations in the digital world.
