DESCRIPTION:Discussion on the growing threat of DDoS attacks against critic
 al infrastructure -electrical grids and public transit systems - and how q
 uantum computing offers a scalable and efficient defense through network g
 raph partitioning.\n\n- Real-world DDoS incidents targetting electrical ut
 ilities and transit networks\, and why they matter.\n- Why classical mitig
 ation methods fall short under coordinated\, high-volume attacks.\n- Key d
 ifferences between quantum computing and classical approaches in terms of 
 response speed and scalability.\n- Considerations for nerar-term deploymen
 t in infrastructure security operations centers.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Jose Al
