The Prioritization Problem: Securing AI While Preparing for Post-Quantum

Organizations are facing a new kind of security challenge: one defined by compressed timelines, emerging risks, expanding trust boundaries, and competing priorities. That urgency is only increasing. Recent White House Executive Orders make clear that quantum isn’t a distant concern: the U.S. is accelerating quantum innovation while setting firm timelines to transition critical systems to post-quantum cryptography.

In this episode, leaders from IBM, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Entrust cut through the hype to focus on what matters now: where to prioritize, how to balance immediate risks with long-term transformation, and what it takes to prepare for a future where machines act autonomously and cryptographic trust must continuously evolve.
