Abstract
Quantum threats are no longer theoretical, and waiting could cost you. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, Johannes Lintzen is joined by Mamta Gupta, a quantum physicist turned cybersecurity strategist at Lattice Semiconductor. Together, they break down how crypto agility, hardware-based trust anchors, and PQC readiness are now essential for any organization managing long-lifecycle systems. You’ll come away with practical steps to assess, upgrade, and future-proof your cryptographic infrastructure.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why crypto agility is no longer optional and how to implement it in hardware and software
- How FPGAs provide a reprogrammable foundation for future-ready root-of-trust design
- What the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threat means for long-term data protection
- How to assess PQC readiness in three strategic steps: visibility, trust anchor evaluation, and vendor analysis
- How to navigate diverging regulatory mandates from CNSA 2.0 (U.S.) and ENISA (EU)
- What it really takes to align internal stakeholders for a successful PQC transition
Mamta Gupta is the Senior Director of Strategic Business Development for Security, Telecommunications, and Data Centers at Lattice Semiconductor. With a master’s degree in quantum physics, specializing in superfluidity, superconductivity, and critical phenomena, she brings a rare blend of theoretical insight and real-world engineering to the cybersecurity space. She has led key PQC strategy efforts at Lattice, helping develop quantum-resistant FPGA-based architectures and secure supply chain practices. A leading advocate for confronting the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threat, Mamta is known for her pragmatic, cross-functional approach to building crypto-agile infrastructure.
