Discover why nation-states are already harvesting encrypted data today to decrypt later once quantum capabilities emerge.
Join WEI Cybersecurity Solutions Architect Shawn Murphy and Blair Canavan, Thales Director of Alliances – PQC Portfolio, for an in-depth discussion on one of the most urgent topics facing CISOs and security leaders today: post-quantum cryptography (PQC).
Shawn and Blair break down what quantum-enabled threats mean for enterprise infrastructure, why classical cryptography (RSA, ECC) will eventually be deprecated, and how organizations can prepare for Y2Q the moment quantum computing becomes capable of breaking today’s encryption standards.
Blair shares insights from 35 years in cybersecurity, including his early work with Symantec and hardware security modules.
PQC 101: Practical Paths to Quantum-Safe Security
The Conversation Also Covers:
- The transition from classical algorithms to hybrid and full PQC models.
- What CNSA 2.0 requires and why 2025 is a pivotal year for vendors and enterprises.
- Why many device manufacturers, including major laptop providers, are already shipping PQC-safe firmware and chipsets.
- How Thales is embedding PQC into real-world products from HSMs to identity smart cards.
- Practical guidance for CISOs on assessments, baselining, roadmaps, and avoiding “kick-the-can” procrastination on quantum readiness
