Encore: Is the Quantum Threat Closer Than You Think?

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, and as attackers increasingly stockpile encrypted data today to decrypt once quantum computing makes it possible, we're revisiting this episode.

Quantum computing is advancing fast, and with it comes a major cybersecurity risk—the potential to break today’s encryption standards. In this episode of Threat Vector, host ⁠David Moulton⁠ speaks with ⁠Richu Channakeshava⁠, Senior Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks, about the urgent need for organizations to prepare for a post-quantum world. They discuss the risks of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, the painfully slow process of cryptographic migration, and the steps security leaders must take today to protect sensitive data. If your organization relies on encryption for long-term data security, this episode is a must-listen. Learn why waiting could be a critical mistake and how to start your transition to quantum-resistant cryptography now.
