Recorded live on the final day of Black Hat 2026, this episode of the Expert Insights Podcast features Todd Moore, global VP and GM of data security products at Thales. In the episode, he discusses why the post-quantum era has stopped being a future problem, and needs to be on your agenda today. Todd explains why 2029 matters: it’s the point at which researchers expect a crypto-relevant quantum computer could break today’s encryption, and why that timeline is already reshaping regulation in the US, France, Singapore, and Australia.
The conversation covers why financial services, healthcare, and government are moving faster than retail and manufacturing, the emerging link between AI adoption and quantum risk, and the practical first step every security leader should take now: building a cryptographic inventory. Todd also introduces the concept of crypto agility. This is the ability to adapt as post-quantum algorithms and protocols continue to change, and unpacks Luna 8, Thales’ newly launched quantum-safe hardware security module, including why the company chose Black Hat to announce it.
