Rut Lineswala, Founder and CTO of BQP, was featured alongside global CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs in StarCIO’s annual 2026 predictions report. The article compiles expert perspectives on agentic AI, data governance, information security, infrastructure, and enterprise leadership trends expected to shape the coming year.

Lineswala’s contribution highlights the growing gap between traditional security playbooks and the reality of quantum-inspired software already operating within mission-critical environments. He notes that quantum-inspired algorithms are being embedded seamlessly into standard engineering workflows such as MATLAB, Python, and established simulation platforms, often without SecOps teams recognizing that fundamentally different computational methods are in play.

The prediction emphasizes that organizations building quantum-aware security frameworks—focused on where computation happens, how results are validated, and how hybrid workflows are governed—will have a strategic advantage as adoption accelerates.
