The New Attack Surface: Emerging Threats at the Apex of Cybersecurity

Emerging Trends ·Post-Quantum ·All Levels

A keynote that frames the day. As computing moves to post-quantum cryptography, AI-driven pipelines, software-defined radios, and connected vehicles, the attack surface stops being a perimeter and becomes everything. Jhury connects the threads running through APEX 2026 - crypto agility and post-quantum readiness, AI-augmented AppSec, the cellular edge, software supply chains, side-channel and fault-injection attacks on silicon, and automotive systems - into a single map of where cybersecurity is heading and what defenders should prepare for next.
