    The Prioritization Problem: Securing AI While Preparing for Post-Quantum

    Organizations are facing a new kind of security challenge: one defined by compressed timelines, emerging risks, expanding trust boundaries, and competing priorities. That urgency is only increasing. Recent White House Executive Orders make clear that quantum isn’t a distant concern: the U.S. is accelerating quantum innovation while setting firm timelines to transition critical systems to post-quantum cryptography. In this episode, leaders from IBM, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Entrust cut through the hype to focus on what matters now: where to prioritize, how to balance immediate risks with long-term transformation, and what it takes to prepare for a future where machines act autonomously and cryptographic trust must continuously evolve.

    Inside A Quantum Computer – The Race AI Is Speeding Up

    In this episode, Hrant Gharibyan, CEO and Co-founder of BlueQubit, and Michael Klieman, Global VP of Product at Entrust, explore what it really takes to build a quantum computer, how AI is compressing the timeline, and why organizations must rethink trust, identity, and post-quantum cryptography now. Because as AI accelerates, so does the need for quantum-safe foundations.

    Modernizing PKI for the Agentic Enterprise

    Public key infrastructure (PKI) has quietly become one of the most critical foundations of digital trust. But what was once a stable, behind-the-scenes system is now under unprecedented pressure. As certificate lifetimes shrink to 47-days in Public trust and to as little as seconds in Private Trust PKI, post quantum timelines accelerate, legacy PKI models are showing real cracks: outages, compliance gaps, and operational risk that many organizations didn’t realize they were carrying. And with machine identities scaling and AI agents acting autonomously, PKI is no longer just securing systems; it’s governing trust at machine speed. In this episode, we explore why modernizing PKI is now essential for the agentic enterprise and how organizations can evolve to more automated, resilient trust models built for what’s next.

    From Discovery to Deployment: Solving the PQ Timeline Compression Challenge

    As post‑quantum (PQ) timelines shrink and the threat landscape intensifies, organizations can no longer afford to stall in the early stages of cryptographic discovery. In this episode, special guest Antti Ropponen, Executive Partner, Quantum Safe Transformation Services at IBM, and Greg Wetmore, Vice President of Product Development at Entrust, break down why so many teams remain stuck mapping their cryptographic assets, and how to accelerate the journey toward real PQ implementation. Together, they outline how to move from awareness to action, building crypto agility, and preparing for a quantum‑safe future before the clock runs out.

    Know Your Employee: Securing the Workforce Against Fraud, Impersonation & Insider Threats

    As remote work and global hiring become standard, the enterprise faces a new crisis: the infiltration of fraudulent identities into the trusted workforce. This episode examines the failure of legacy verification systems and the rise of sophisticated, AI-driven impersonation tactics that circumvent traditional security.     In this episode, Entrust experts Mike Baxter and Rishi Kaushal discuss the necessity of securing high-risk moments across the entire employee lifecycle. The discussion focuses on moving beyond one-time background checks toward a model of continuous, biometric-anchored identity to secure every employee touchpoint.

    Why Identity Centric Security Is Essential

    In this special inaugural episode of the Identity Thread Podcast by Entrust, we sit down with incoming Entrust CEO Tony Ball to explore why identity security has become the defining challenge – and opportunity – of today’s digital era.   As fraud, cyber risks, and emerging technologies rapidly evolve, identity has emerged as the new common thread against these threats. Tony shares his perspective on what identity-centric security really means, why organizations must rethink how they protect the identity lifecycle, and how leaders can build trust in an increasingly complex world.

    The Quantum Countdown and the Future of Encryption

    At the dawn of 2026, the post quantum (PQ) era has effectively arrived with “harvest now, decrypt later” style attacks and the availability of NIST post quantum cryptography (PQC) standards. So, how prepared are organizations really, and what does the future of encryption look like? In this episode, our Entrust PQ experts Michael Klieman and Samantha Mabey answer these questions and more by sharing key insights and trends from the Entrust 2026 Global State of Post-Quantum and Cryptographic Security Trends.

    The Identity Shift: Lessons from 2025, Predictions for 2026

    2025 was characterized by an exponential increase in the use of AI to both perpetrate and defend against fraud. But in 2026, fraud won’t just be about stealing money; it will be about undermining trust in our digital universe. In this episode, our incoming CEO Tony Ball and Mike Baxter, President and Chief Technology & Product Officer, will share key learnings from the past year along with some strategies and best practices to stay ahead of the intensifying fraud, technology, and regulatory landscape in 2026.
