Your identity system is vulnerable to deepfake attacks. Your passwords can be hacked. Your audit logs can be deleted. And quantum computers will break traditional encryption within the next decade. What if there's a way to eliminate all of these vulnerabilities at once? In this episode, Hamid Pishdadian and Mike Goodwin reveal how rethinking cybersecurity from scratch led to something the industry said was impossible: unbreakable identity, encryption without keys, and security that actually scales. They explain why the solutions everyone's investing in (Post-Quantum Cryptography, better passwords, more monitoring) are all optimizing a broken system instead of fixing it. 🔹 Hamid Mokhlis | CEO, Founder & Chief Architect, SQE: is an award-winning design engineer, inventor, and technology executive with over 35 years of experience and more than 20 U.S. and international patents across computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, AI, and advanced algorithm design.
