3146: Securing the Quantum Future: How SECQAI is Redefining Cyber Defense
How can we safeguard our digital infrastructure in the age of quantum computing? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Rahul Tyagi, CEO of SECQAI, a NATO-backed leader in quantum-resilient and memory-safe semiconductor solutions. As quantum computing accelerates, the risks to current encryption systems grow, making it critical to rethink how we protect our most sensitive data and systems. Rahul shares insights into the looming quantum computing threat, where "steal now, decrypt later" strategies are already compromising long-term data security. He explains how SECQAI’s groundbreaking secure semiconductor architecture, built on memory-safe principles, can block up to 70% of global cyberattacks while ensuring readiness for post-quantum cryptography. We discuss the pivotal role of collaboration between governments, industry, and academia in creating innovative solutions, from Cambridge University's Cherry architecture to partnerships with Oxford Quantum Circuits for quantum machine learning research. Rahul also highlights key timelines for quantum resilience, including global policy initiatives such as NIST’s roadmap and aggressive adoption goals from agencies like CISA and the Australian Signals Directorate. As we stand at the crossroads of quantum advancement and cybersecurity, how can organizations and policymakers align to future-proof critical infrastructure? Join us as we explore these pressing challenges and solutions, and let us know your thoughts on what the quantum-resilient future holds.
