Dr. Yiannis Pavlosoglou is Vice Governor of the National Cybersecurity Authority of Greece and a cybersecurity executive with more than 20 years of experience in cyber resilience, critical infrastructure protection, and security governance. His interest in quantum-safe security began during his doctoral research, where he explored the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol and the implications of quantum technologies for secure communications.
Having served as CISO in both the private and public sectors across Europe and the United Kingdom, he is now an advocate for public institutions and critical sectors to prepare for the transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and broader quantum-era cyber risks. Dr. Pavlosoglou combines deep technical expertise with strategic leadership, contributing to resilience frameworks such as CERT-RMM and AI-RMM, and supporting national and European initiatives aimed at strengthening cybersecurity readiness in the face of emerging technologies.
His current work in the crypto-space emphasizes crypto-agility, digital resilience, and the practical adoption of quantum-safe security measures across government and critical infrastructure ecosystems.
