Dave Krauthamer Forbes Feature on Post-Quantum Cryptography: A Once-In-A-Lifetime Opportunity To Create Truly Secure Communications

The modern internet was built with the focus on connectivity rather than security. As a result, it wasn’t designed to handle the scale and influence of today’s connected systems, such as AI agents, APIs, and IoT devices. These technologies continue to widen the threat landscape. At the same time, most organizations still rely on legacy environments without clear visibility into the algorithms and cryptographic systems they use.

In a recent article for Forbes Technology Council, Dave Krauthamer, Field CTO and board member at QuSecure, shares why the transition to post-quantum cryptography is an opportunity to build resilient infrastructure, manage cryptography at scale, and modernize secure communications.

Key Insights

• Crypto-agility is crucial to upgrade or replace keys, libraries, policies, and algorithms without rewriting applications.
• Strong identity enables zero-trust architecture, where access is governed by identity, device posture, and policy.
• Visibility and control are critical gaps; therefore, continuous cryptographic discovery is important to determine where encryption exists and what algorithms are in use.
• Centralized orchestration enables faster remediation.

Why This Matters

Post-quantum cryptography isn’t just a response to threats. This migration is reshaping how organizations deploy, govern, and upgrade cryptography. It also creates an opportunity to rethink secure communications through visibility, adaptability, and long-term resilience.
