Compliance Deadlines, Customer Reality, and the Case for (embedded) TLS1.3

Post-quantum cryptography does not fail because the math is hard. It stalls because systems are old, upgrades feel risky, and organizations struggle to explain the work in business terms. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, host Jo Lintzen speaks with Jan Schaumann, Chief Information Security Architect at Akamai Technologies, about how PQC migration actually unfolds inside a global platform. Jan explains why TLS 1.3 is the real prerequisite, why Akamai chose a slower, opt-in rollout, and how PQC becomes a forcing function for long-term crypto agility.
