Listen "Inside Microsoft’s Quantum Safe Program: Turning Policy into Practice"
Episode Synopsis
Post-quantum security will reshape every system that depends on cryptography. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, host Jo Lintzen speaks with Kevin Reifsteck, Director for Critical Infrastructure Protection at Microsoft, about how governments and global enterprises can turn quantum-safe readiness from policy into practice. Kevin shares how Microsoft’s Quantum Safe Program sets clear timelines, embeds accountability across engineering teams, and helps customers prepare long before 2035. He unpacks what regulators must do to accelerate migration, how to prioritize long-lived systems, and why leadership commitment, not code alone, defines true quantum resilience.
