Let’s be honest—when someone says “regulation”, many people in the industry can disengage. But for Bernadine Reese, Managing Director of the Risk and Compliance team at Protiviti, the word sparks enthusiasm, especially with all the changes coming down the line. In a recent IFA Talk podcast, she joined IFA Magazine’s Jenny Hunter and Sue Whitbread to dig into the FCA’s freshly launched strategy for 2025 to 2030—and her message is clear: this is not just another regulatory document. It’s an opportunity.In Bernadine’s words, “Regulation is definitely not boring—especially at the moment. We’re seeing lots of change, lots of surprises, so it continues to be a fascinating topic.”Here’s what financial advisers and their firms need to know about the FCA’s strategy and why now might be the perfect time to rethink how they engage with regulation, innovation and the customer experience.Four big themes. The new FCA strategy isn’t just a tick-box exercise

In brief Quantum computers can generate "certifiably random" numbers that are truly unhackable, unlike traditional computers.Researchers used a 56-qubit quantum computer to create 70,000+ verified random bits that would require massive supercomputing power to fake.True randomness could revolutionize security for encryption, blockchain, and digital signatures, though implementation remains challenging.Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENEA team of researchers from JP Morgan Chase, Quantinuum, and others has shown that quantum computers can produce “certifiably random” numbers, potentially improving how we secure everything from banking to voting systems.It turns out that the random numbers some computer programs use aren’t so random.In cryptography—the tech underlying two-factor authentication and passkeys for instance—random numbers are generated to secure systems from hackers. But traditional computers typically use algorithms that only mimic randomness, and are actually based on an algorithmic formula, making them potentially hackable if someone figures out the pattern."Imagine we have a list that starts with 'Ace of Diamonds' and ends 53 items later with a Joker. To shuffle this on a computer, I might use the Knuth Shuffle, which is a well-known algorithm. The problem is that if we run the algorithm on our ordered 'deck' with the same 'seed' again, we get the same 'shuffled' output," Clyde Williamson, senior product security architect at data security firm Protegrity, told Decrypt.The breakthrough, published in Nature, demonstrated that the team was able to achieve certified randomness, meaning that the numbers were demonstrably random and unhackable.Using Quantinuum's 56-qubit trapped-ion computer, the research team generated over 70,000 certified random bits in a process that took mere seconds per bit to create, but would require four of the world's top supercomputers working nonstop to fake—as in, generating a similar sequence with a mathematical formula that would make the process seem deterministic.The numbers were later verified by a group of supercomputers capable of proving there was not a mathematical algorithm involved in their generation.The achievement marks a meaningful step beyond previous quantum computing claims that often involved contrived tasks with little real-world value. This time, the application tackled a fundamental challenge in cybersecurity: creating random numbers that are provably unbiased and unpredictable."Traditional random number generation faces two major challenges: the potential for manipulation or predictability in entropy sources, and weaknesses in the algorithms used by pseudo-random number generators to expand that entropy," Kee Jefferys, co-founder of encrypted messaging app Session—and co-author of the proof-of-stake privacy coin Oxen’s Whitepaper—told Decrypt
