This episode delves into practical measures agencies and contractors can adopt to prepare for the quantum computing threat. Key topics include cryptographic inventory, quantum-safe VPNs, enhanced randomness, and identity management. Joey Swartz from ATP Gov presented a white paper outlining five steps toward quantum resistance. Emphasis is placed on understanding and cataloging current cryptographic methods, integrating quantum-safe practices in DevSecOps, securing VPNs, and employing quantum random number generation. The episode underscores the importance of a risk-informed, phased approach to quantum readiness while highlighting ATP Gov's role as a vendor-neutral integrator for quantum defense.
