Securing Nations in the Intelligent Economy
Turning AI and Quantum Disruption into Strategic Advantage
Microsoft and Accenture’s new whitepaper highlights how cyber resilience has become central to national security, impacting economic stability and sovereignty. With AI and quantum computing influencing critical infrastructure, cyber incidents now risk causing major economic disruptions. Their joint research positions cybersecurity as a strategic tool for statecraft in a world shaped by intelligence, data, and technology.
In this whitepaper you’ll find a clear, actionable agenda built around four national imperatives—from securing AI as critical infrastructure to preparing for the quantum transition and building whole-of-nation cyber resilience. With real-world case studies, economic modeling, and policy guidance, learn how to move beyond reactive defense toward proactive, trust-centered strategies that turn emerging technology risk into long-term strategic advantage.
Download the whitepaper and explore how public sector leaders can protect national security, economic resilience, and public trust as AI and quantum technologies reshape the global threat landscape.
