Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Inventory Dashboard is Not a Migration Strategy
Q: How do you justify adoption to regulators and executives?
Provide risk-based justification with concrete evidence of stored-crypto risks, demonstrate a defensible migration path via hybrids, and highlight compliance timelines to show practical progress rather than abstract planning.
Your Inventory Dashboard is Not a Migration Strategy
Q: What concrete steps should a CISO take in the next six months?
Upgrade TLS to 1.3 as a quick win, and start implementing automatic, reliable, transparent key rotation to improve resilience and reveal hard-to-migrate use cases for closer monitoring.
Your Hardware Refresh Is a Quantum Deadline with Mamta Gupta
Q: So what's your recommendation for those organizations that might be a little bit behind or just waking up to the threat?
Get visibility into your systems, into your use cases, into your customer needs.
Your Hardware Refresh Is a Quantum Deadline with Mamta Gupta
Q: From where you sit in the supply chain as a semiconductor company, hardware industry enabler, how do you see the challenges in adopting PQC, and what are the implications for businesses?
The biggest challenge... the disconnect between the speed of cryptographic evolution and the life cycle of hardware.
Your Hardware Refresh Is a Quantum Deadline with Mamta Gupta
Q: Mamta, maybe you can tell us a little bit how you got started in the world of both hardware security but also quantum technologies.
My background is in quantum physics... I did my master's there.
