Breaking Silos: Resilience as a Cross-Functional Mandate

Quantum readiness is increasingly about execution. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, host Jo Lintzen speaks with Carolina Polito, a researcher at the Center for European Policy Studies and a PhD candidate in international relations. Carolina explains why post-quantum migration is less of a cryptographic problem and more of an organizational challenge. She outlines how institutions should move from inventory to prioritization, how to engage vendors effectively, and why coordination across governance, procurement, and standards will define the pace of transition. She also shares where organizations can begin today without overcomplicating the process.
