Making Enterprises Quantum Safe
The race towards quantum computing is accelerating — and with it, the threat to today’s encryption is no longer theoretical. Algorithms like RSA and ECC, once considered unbreakable, are now vulnerable to future quantum attacks that could expose sensitive data harvested today. This isn’t a distant problem. It’s a silent risk already being exploited in “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies.
In this dialogue, we’ll unpack what’s at stake—and what you can do now to defend against it. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how post-quantum cryptography (PQC) works, what global standards bodies are recommending, and why crypto agility is your organization’s best defense.
If your organization handles sensitive data — financial, healthcare, or government — you can't afford to wait. Quantum risk is already here. Be ready before it’s too late.
Speakers
Isabelle began her career nearly three decades ago in France as a C developer at IBM, working on cutting-edge networking technologies. Her passion for problem-solving and technical evangelism quickly led her to roles that spanned the globe, where she supported customers in both presales and professional services roles. Since then, Isabelle has consistently been at the forefront of technological evolution, from the pioneering era of e-business through the shift toward cloud computing, microservices and Kubernetes. As the founder CTO of 42Crunch, Isabelle used her deep expertise into creating a platform that empowers developers to build secure APIS. At WSO2, she brings her experience to enhance the developer journey across the company's diverse portfolio.
Frank, the WSO2 Technology fellow, has been a full professor of computer science at the University of Stuttgart, Germany since 2004. He is also the founder and director of the Institute of Architecture of Application Systems. His research interests include middleware, cloud computing, quantum computing, and pattern languages. Before joining the university, he worked at IBM, serving in software development roles. He was also the main co-inventor and chief software architect of IBM's business process management and workflow products. He has received recognition for his technical contributions from leading organizations and is an elected member of the Academy of Europe as well as the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He holds appointments as a member of the Expert Council for Quantum Computing of the German Government and as a Kurt Gödel visiting professor for Quantum Computing at TU Wien.
