“I think about our lives in a digital world as a Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the very base of that pyramid is data protection. We have to own that data. We have to be able to protect what deserves to be protected.” – Rebecca Krauthamer
In a recent live episode of How I AI, “Women Building With AI,” QuSecure CEO and Co-Founder Rebecca Krauthamer joins host Brooke Gramer, alongside Gazal Vakili (FutureSelf) and Marian Bacol (Somarae), during Venture Week Miami. The discussion explores the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cybersecurity, and what it means to build responsibly in today’s digital world.
Key Takeaways
Rebecca emphasizes that cybersecurity must be at the forefront of protecting our data. It is the foundational layer of AI systems and digital infrastructure. She explains how QuSecure helps governments and enterprises defend against AI-driven cyber threats and emerging quantum computing attacks. She also stresses the urgent need for post-quantum cryptography to safeguard the sensitive data we rely on every day. Beyond cybersecurity, Rebecca shares insights on scaling and venture capital fundraising as a startup, prioritizing culture and mission alignment.
Why This Matters Now
While AI is transforming every industry, from healthcare to national security, it is also redefining cybersecurity. As cyber risks become more dynamic and quantum computing threatens to break widely used encryption standards, organizations that fail to adopt quantum-safe security risk falling behind. This episode delivers profound insight at the intersection of AI, ethics, quantum, and security. It also provides practical guidance for leaders, founders, and innovators navigating emerging technology risks. Data protection isn’t optional; it’s a business imperative and a competitive advantage.
