In this first of a two-part series, we explore what post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness really looks like across different industries. I’m joined by our Security Architect and PQC advisor, Parna, as we break down how sectors like finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and tech are approaching the quantum threat. From cautious optimism to full-speed planning, we’ll talk about the varying levels of urgency, the barriers to adoption, and why a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work.

AI is everywhere—from your inbox to your code editor—and it's making life easier. But at what cost? In this episode, we unpack how AI is silently reshaping our personal habits and professional workflows. From developers unknowingly leaking code into ChatGPT, to employees letting AI do the thinking for them, we ask: are we using AI too much—or just not wisely enough? Tune in for a human take on the invisible ways AI is changing the way we live, work, and think.

The era of long-lived certificates is coming to an end. With lifespans set to drop to 200 days this year—and just 45 days by 2027—it’s time to rethink how we manage digital trust. In this episode, we break down what these changes mean, why it matters now, and how to prepare without falling behind. Shorter certs aren't just a technical shift—they're a new way of thinking about cybersecurity.

FIPS 140-3 marks a significant shift in cryptographic security standards, but how does it differ from 140-2 and 140-1, and why is compliance so important? In this episode, we explore the history of FIPS, the key updates in 140-3, and what they mean for organizations. We also discuss the steps companies need to take to achieve compliance and the impact these changes have on security and risk management. Whether you're just getting started or looking to stay ahead, this episode has you covered.

In this episode, we explore the key trends in encryption for 2025, focusing on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), the role of AI in enhancing encryption, and the evolving challenges of securing data in the cloud. Tune in for insights on how these innovations are shaping the future of data protection.
