How Quantum Threats Challenge Cybersecurity and Global Markets
Impact Quantum: A Podcast for the Quantum Curious
In this episode, Kevin Kane, CEO of American Binary, a pioneer in the field of enterprise post-quantum network security joins us to talk about the looming threat of Q-Day.
Together, we tackle urgent questions surrounding the looming quantum threat, the vulnerabilities in our global financial systems, and how quantum computing could reshape cybersecurity as we know it.
Kevin dives deep into why his company was founded to protect critical infrastructure from future quantum attacks and explains their journey in developing NSA-standard post-quantum encryption. From the psychology of innovation to the global stakes of unpreparedness, Kevin shares thought-provoking insights on courage, resilience, and the human side of tech entrepreneurship.
Get ready for a conversation that spans from cutting-edge cryptography to geopolitics, the nature of leadership, and the importance of family—while reminding us all why the race for secure networks is about more than technology; it’s about civilization’s survival.
