In this eye-opening episode of the WEI Tech Talk podcast, WEI’s own cybersecurity solutions architect, Shawn Murphy, is joined by Patrick Hynds, CEO of Pulsar Security and co-host of the Entangled Things podcast, for a riveting discussion about the coming storm of quantum decryption—and what organizations need to do now to prepare.As the global race toward quantum computing accelerates, so too does the threat to modern encryption standards that protect our most critical data—from TLS-protected websites and VPNs to cryptocurrency wallets and national defense secrets. Murphy and Hynds break down complex topics like Shor’s algorithm, harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks, asymmetric vs. symmetric encryption, and the geopolitical stakes of “Q-Day,” when quantum computers may one day unravel the cryptographic systems we rely on today.With deep technical insight, the conversation explores how businesses and governments must inventory their encryption use, prepare for cryptographic transitions, and embrace quantum-safe standards. Plus, learn what you can do—today—to protect long-term digital assets before the brakes go out on your cybersecurity infrastructure.Whether you're a cybersecurity leader, risk analyst, IT executive, or just a curious technologist, this episode is a must-listen for understanding the quantum threat landscape and how to respond with urgency and clarity.The content for this production was recorded in June 2025.
