Strong understanding of cloud security frameworks, such as AWS Well-Architected Framework and CIS Benchmarks.

  • Networking Skills: Solid experience with cloud networking concepts and services, including configuring and securing Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), Subnets, Security Groups, and Network ACLs. Expertise in implementing and managing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), Web Application Firewalls (WAF), and DDoS protection. Ability to design and enforce security policies that align with best practices for cloud networking and ensure secure application delivery.

  • Infrastructure & Compliance as Code: Comprehensive knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices, including the use of tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation to automate the provisioning and management of cloud resources. Strong understanding of Policy as Code frameworks such as OPA or AWS config to enforce security policies and compliance requirements automatically across the infrastructure. Experience in driving Cloud Security maturity in fast-paced, agile environments, and advocating for security automation and DevSecOps practices to streamline security governance.

  • An Engineering Mindset: Troubleshooting and problem-solving skills to quickly identify security issues and gaps within automated processes. The ability to implement effective solutions that enhance the overall security posture is essential.

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.
