About this episode

Kevin Kane discusses the urgency of addressing quantum computing threats and the implications for cybersecurity.

Google has said to be concerned about quantum computing by 2029. Kevin Kane, Co-Founder and CEO of American Binary, argues that timeline is already too relaxed and that companies treating post-quantum as a future problem are the ones most exposed right now. He breaks down what a real quantum-resilient architecture takes, why formal verification matters, and what harvest attacks mean for every encrypted message sent today.
