Episode notes
As quantum computing inches closer to real-world impact, organizations can no longer afford to treat post-quantum cryptography as a future concern. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense , host Johannes Lintzen speaks with Professor Bill Buchanan, OBE, FRSE, to examine what it takes to transition into the post-quantum era. They explore the importance of cryptographic agility, the myths around PQC performance, and why human error remains the biggest vulnerability in cybersecurity. From hybrid adoption to hardware integration and upcoming regulatory mandates, Bill offers a candid and practical look at how organizations can prepare for the next generation of encryption before it’s too late.
