Abstract
Quantum migration isn’t a future concern, it’s a present-tense priority. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, Johannes Lintzen and Dr. Garfield Jones, CISA, take a deep dive into the practical challenges of post-quantum migration, focusing on how organizations can apply the APA framework (Awareness, Preparedness, Action) to make their cybersecurity future-proof. From procurement and inventory to legacy system challenges and vendor alignment, Dr. Jones shares a tactical roadmap to help organizations start moving today.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to apply the APA framework to drive post-quantum readiness
- Why cryptographic inventory is the first and most urgent step
- How to balance backward compatibility with secure innovation
- Procurement strategies for embedding PQC into your supply chain
- The dual challenge of securing encryption and authentication
- When to trust automation, and where human oversight is essential
- How compliance mandates can accelerate not hinder progress
- Why global collaboration and algorithm flexibility matter
- Where to access government resources and guidance
Dr. Garfield Jones is the Associate Chief of Strategic Technology at CISA, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He is a leading figure in quantum security strategy and played a key role in shaping the APA framework (Awareness, Preparedness, Action). With expertise in AI, machine learning, and infrastructure protection, he is helping U.S. agencies and partners prepare for a cryptographic future shaped by quantum computing.
