This episode explains the federal government’s urgent push to adopt post-quantum cryptography, led by CISA and driven by White House directives, including a December product-category list and a 2035 migration goal.

Listeners learn which NIST-standard FIPS algorithms matter, which product categories are in scope (networks, endpoints, cloud, identity, storage, etc.), and what vendors must do to qualify: implement standards, be interoperable and generally available, and maintain transparency with CISA.
