Quantum Has Landed, So Now What?

Episode 4: The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) release of its new post-quantum cryptography standards last summer was the quiet start of a new chapter in cybersecurity. Now no longer something that can be filed away for future reference, post-quantum encryption has officially landed on the desks of cybersecurity leaders worldwide. We wanted to explore what comes next, so we recruited some world-class experts to help get answers. This episode of Dark Reading Confidential digs the world of quantum computing from a cybersecurity practitioner's point of view -- with guests Matthew McFadden, vice president, Cyber, General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) and Thomas Scanlon, professor, Heinz College, Carnegie Mellon University.  They give practical advice on how to manage the upgrade of post-quantum standards across an array of systems, and how to prioritize the most critical cryptography vulnerabilities inside your organization. From threat actors to regulators, the pressure to update to post-quantum standards is on. This episode of Dark Reading Confidential is focused on what to do about it.  Take a listen.
