From Awareness to Action: The Blueprint for Quantum-Resilient Security | Garfield Jones

Episode notes

Quantum migration isn’t a future concern, it’s a present-tense priority. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense , Johannes Lintzen and Dr. Garfield Jones take a deep dive into the practical challenges of post-quantum migration, focusing on how organizations can apply the APA framework (Awareness, Preparedness, Action) to make their cybersecurity future-proof. From procurement and inventory to legacy system challenges and vendor alignment, Dr. Jones shares a tactical roadmap to help organizations start moving today. What You'll Learn: How to apply the APA framework to drive post-quantum readiness Why cryptographic inventory is the first and most urgent step How to balance backward compatibility with secure innovation Procurement strategies for embedding PQC into your supply chain The dual challenge of securing encryption and authentication When to trust automation, and where human oversight is essential How compliance mandates can accelerate not hinder progress Why global collaboration and algorithm flexibility matter Where to access government resources and guidance Dr. Garfield Jones is the Associate Chief of Strategic Technology at CISA, part of the U.S.
