Ellen Boehm on Post-Quantum Readiness in Critical Infrastructure

Ellen Boehm, Senior Vice President Strategy and AI Innovation at Keyfactor, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness in critical infrastructure organizations. A recent Executive Order on PQC installed a December 2030 deadline for federal agencies to transition high-value systems and key generation to PQC. The EO also directs CISA, other federal sector risk management agencies to assist with road map development. In this episode, Ellen discusses readiness in this context. She also delves into how critical infrastructure organizations overseeing fleets of cyber-physical systems (CPS) assets transition those environments and avoid disruptions. Governance, budgeting, supply chain management, and the AI-driven threat landscape are also discussed. This episode was recorded during the Black Hat USA Conference. Subscribe and listen to the Nexus Podcast here.
