The episode discusses the implications of post-quantum cryptography and how project managers can prepare for technological shifts in data security.
Quantum computing is speeding up, and organizations are racing to protect long‑lived data.

We ask what project managers can do now to assess risk, strengthen governance, and prepare their careers for a quantum future.
