2025 Outlook with Dr Axel Y. Poschmann of PQShield
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your company.
The PQShield team helped define the new PQC (post-quantum cryptography) standards that will be used to replace current encryption that is vulnerable to attack by quantum computers. Now, we work with international blue-chip organizations, disruptive scale-ups, and national… Read More
PQShield Demystifies Post-Quantum Cryptography with Leadership Lounge
Post-Quantum Cryptography, or PQC provides a technical approach to protect encrypted data and connections when quantum computers can cost-effectively defeat current approaches. Exactly when this will occur is open to much discussion, but the fact is this day is coming, some say in ten years. One of the imperatives is to deploy… Read More
