Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later attacks are already in motion. Unmanaged keys and outdated algorithms are active weaknesses within an organization's infrastructure. When quantum decryption arrives, the fallout will be immediate—compliance gaps, lost trust, and financial impact. How should organizations prepare?
Vijay Viswanathan, Vice President of Product at ISARA Corporation, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss quantum safe security. For most organizations, cryptography is hidden, therefore it's risk is hidden or unknown. Vijay will discuss how to prepare for Q day, including the steps that should be taken now:
- Cryptographic discovery and posture analysis
- Executive communication on cryptographic risks
- Mitigation and migration strategies
- Crypto agility for ongoing maintenance

- Trump, AI Executives Sign Voluntary AI Safety Accord
Alongside President Donald Trump, executives from leading AI companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Nvidia and xAI) signed a voluntary AI safety accord pushing for companies to enact several layers of controls as AI accelarates cybersecurity concerns.
- AI Governance Frameworks Won’t Save You, but an Ethically Engaged Workforce Might
The frameworks and safeguards that make boards feel AI risk is handled usually leave out the one defense that actually holds the line: employees.
- AI Threats Push CISOs Into Enterprise Boardroom
Cybersecurity leaders are increasingly moving into the boardroom as AI agents create new security risks, forcing CISOs to balance emerging threats, internal AI governance, business needs, and executive decision-making.
- CISO and CFO Partnerships Drive Security Success
The relationship between the chief information security officer (CISO) and the chief financial officer (CFO) has evolved from a transactional, enterprise-budgetary conversation to a strategic alliance that shapes an organization's security posture and business resilience. This transformation underscores the importance of a healthy relationship between CISOs and CFOs. It's not just about securing budget and optimizing security efforts; it's about determining whether security initiatives receive the necessary funding, executive support, and organizational alignment to succeed.
- Whatever happened to the 36-month IT security roadmap?
Rapidly emerging risks and the need for business agility have many CISOs forgoing fixed, multi-year plans in favor of a tiered approach that includes continual revisiting of key strategic priorities.
- Cyber Skills Diminish Quicker than Organizations Can Build Readiness
In a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations are experiencing lapses in in onboarding talent, cultivating skills, and maintaining readiness. This is suggested by SkillBit’s research, which found that within three months, approximately two-thirds of organizations expect cybersecurity hires to be fully productive. However, most (57%) state it takes six months to achieve full productivity.
- The Mindsets Leaders Need as AI Accelerates the Pace of Business
AI is changing not only what leaders need to know, but how they need to think. Yet many are struggling to adapt to the speed, uncertainty, and emotional complexity of an AI-driven workplace. To keep pace, you need to shift the mindsets that shape your behavior in three important ways: from certainty to clarity, from expertise to exploration, and from emotional control to emotional insight. A simple four-step practice—pause, perceive, pivot, and practice—can help you start to recognize and change automatic reactions. By deliberately reshaping the assumptions and patterns that guide your behavior, you can become more adaptable, curious, and effective as the nature of work continues to change.
