How to Build Your 12-Month Post-Quantum Strategy With NIST's Dustin Moody

Episode notes

With the 2035 deadline for post-quantum cryptography rapidly approaching, organizations must act immediately to ensure a smooth transition. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense , host Johannes Lintzen speaks with Dustin Moody, a mathematician at NIST, to discuss the practical steps organizations should take to prepare for this monumental shift in cryptography. They explore the critical timeline, common challenges, and how the post-quantum cryptography migration can be effectively managed. What You'll Learn: How to build an effective PQC migration roadmap starting with a cryptographic inventory assessment. Why the 2035 deadline is just the end of the journey, not the beginning, of quantum-safe implementation. The essential role of crypto agility in maintaining long-term security resilience. How to evaluate whether hybrid cryptography schemes are right for your organization. Why "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks pose an immediate threat to sensitive data. Practical steps organizations can take in the next 12 months to begin PQC migration. How NIST’s standardization process is creating a toolbox of algorithms for different use cases.
