How can AI protect us against future quantum threats? In a new article for Forbes Technology Council, our CEO and Founder Ali Kaafarani explores how AI-powered cryptanalysis can help the cyber community stress test encryption algorithms, and why collaboration across the supply chain will be central to a successful PQC transition. "AI systems are already finding vulnerabilities in some digital signatures and cryptographic implementations… the good news is that cyber defenders have access to AI, not just attackers.” Read the full article here: https://hubs.li/Q04z1xVZ0 #postquantum #quantumsafe #pqc #AI #cryptanalysis #cybersecurity

Trying to build a 100% complete cryptographic inventory before acting on quantum risk is a recipe for inventory paralysis. In the latest episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, experts Antti Ropponen, Aisling Dawson, Itan Barmes, and Sarah McCarthy explain why waiting for full visibility stalls critical migration projects. We unpack: 🌀 Applying cloud migration landing zones to post-quantum migration 🔑 Moving beyond certificates to keys, secrets, and silicon 🎪 Reaching base camp, building strong crypto hygiene, TLS configurations, and corporate governance 🔢 Why upgrading data at rest to AES-256 is the ultimate low-hanging-fruit win Listen to the full episode: 🎧 YouTube: https://hubs.li/Q04B0N4M0 🎧 Spotify: https://hubs.li/Q04B0N7s0 🎧 Apple: https://hubs.li/Q04B0N4N0 #Cybersecurity #PostQuantumCryptography #QuantumSecurity #Cryptography #InfoSec #ShieldedPodcast

PQShield is strengthening its leadership team as post-quantum adoption accelerates, and demand grows for stronger AI security and sovereign resilience. We’re excited to welcome Hal Conklin as Chief Commercial Officer, and Gemma Ungoed-Thomas as Sovereign Advisor. Hal brings more than 30 years of experience scaling emerging technologies and leading go-to-market across businesses later acquired by Arm, Synopsys, Autodesk, Ansys and Cellebrite. He will lead our global commercial strategy, with a particular focus on growing our US operations and customer base. Gemma brings senior government experience spanning cybersecurity, emerging technology and national resilience. As former Director for State Threats, Cyber and Technology in the UK Cabinet Office, she advised the Prime Minister and Cabinet and led delivery of the UK’s £2bn National Cyber Strategy.

Most corporate risk models were built 50 years ago for static physical assets. They were not built for a world where quantum computing invalidates digital trust. In our latest episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, host Johannes Lintzen gathers insights from Will Collison (HSBC), Louise Davey (LDIQ), Kevin Reifsteck (Microsoft), and Sarah McCarthy (Citi) on why post-quantum cryptography requires executive governance. Key insights from the episode: 🔒 Why harvest now, decrypt later breaks traditional timing metrics 📝 How to inventory enterprise cryptography without drowning in data 🛠️ Why C-suite leadership must empower cryptographers to lead 📈 Reframing non-compliance risks and potential $3T+ economic exposure Listen to the full episode now: 🎧 YouTube: https://hubs.li/Q04x8gpz0 🎧 Apple Podcast: https://hubs.li/Q04x8gqZ0 🎧 Spotify: https://hubs.li/Q04x8gqp0 #PostQuantum #HNDL #Cybersecurity #PQC #QuantumSafe

Building globally-compliant post-quantum security isn't just about math and engineering. It's also about navigating through geopolitics. In our latest deep-dive, we take a look at regional variations of PQC guidance and mandates. For example: 🛠️ Which regions advocate a hybrid PQ/T solution? ⚡ Which prefer a direct transition to pure PQC? 🔢 Which algorithms, key lengths and parameter sets are allowed? ❌ What is forbidden and how does it differ by region? 🚩 Is there a difference between critical and standard products? For product owners shipping a single compliant solution, the architectural divergence and regulatory 'split-screen' can create a high-stakes dilemma. That's why we've mapped out the latest post-quantum guidelines across the US, UK, EU, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, and China - helping you find your way through the regulatory landscape.

When transitioning to PQC, it's easy to assume that a faster benchmark automatically equals a better implementation. With ML-DSA, that assumption can lead to catastrophe. That's because the algorithm relies on 'rejection sampling', leading to heavy-tailed performance results. For example, a signing operation might take 20 times longer than the statistical average. If your hardware allocation only budgets for the average, a rare timing spike could bring a safety-critical system to a halt. We partnered with the Bundeswehr University Munich to establish a standardized, reliable methodology for ML-DSA benchmarking. In our latest white paper, we provide: ❌ Evaluation pitfalls to avoid when benchmarking ML-DSA 🔢 Our standardized, dataset-driven methodology 📈 Real-world worst-case-execution-times across a number of embedded platforms Download our publication here: https://hubs.li/Q04w6kjb0 #PostQuantumCryptography #PQC #Cybersecurity #EmbeddedSystems #Engineering #NIST
