On this special episode of Afternoon Cyber Tea, Ann brings listeners inside the 2025 RSA Conference to explore the intersection of AI, quantum computing and cyber resiliency with two visionary experts: Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinod-vaikuntanathan-2489a910/overlay/about-this-profile/">Vinod Vaikuntanathan</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sashaoconnell/">Dr. Sasha O’Connell</a> from The Aspen Institute. Vinod shares how quantum computing poses a serious threat to current encryption methods and explains the urgent need for post-quantum cryptography, while Sasha shares her non-technical path into cybersecurity, her work leading Aspen Digital’s global policy efforts and the launch of the new public campaign aimed at making cybersecurity accessible and actionable for everyone.
