The deals frequently target organizations that are independent and entrepreneurial in spirit — companies that have amassed a significant but often underdeveloped asset base and whose processes generally have not kept up with the growth of the company. The… Podcast May 14, 2025 Podcast | Moving Companies to PQC VPN — with American Binary Post-quantum cryptography is rapidly moving from the realm of NIST standards to running in production. The threat of quantum computing advances and coming regulations are driving this acceleration. One major component on the PQC migration plan for companies is VPN. In this episode we look at the Ambit corporate VPN client, which uses a standardized NIST PQC cipher: ML-KEM. Did you know there are… Podcast February 4, 2026 Podcast | A VC Shares His 5-Layer Quantum Investing Strategy — with Intel Capital Explore the high-stakes world of quantum venture capital. Host Konstantinos Karagiannis sits down with Kike Miralles, Investment Director at Intel Capital. Moving beyond surface-level hype, Miralles introduces his “five-layer stack” philosophy—a strategic framework that evaluates everything from physical infrastructure and QPUs to middleware and end-user applications. He shares candid insights… Podcast March 3, 2026 Podcast | Q-Day 10x Closer Than We Thought—Pinnacle Paper Accelerates RSA Factoring — with Iceberg Quantum The groundbreaking Pinnacle Architecture paper has sent shockwaves through the quantum computing industry by demonstrating that RSA-2048 encryption could potentially be cracked with just 100,000 physical qubits. This is a massive order-of-magnitude reduction from previous estimates that once reached into the millions. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he sits down with Felix Thomsen and Paul… Newsletter September 29, 2023 Private Equity Insights Q3 2023 In our latest issue of Private Equity Insights, we offer Protiviti’s latest thinking on ESG issues – specifically, assessing sustainability through an investment and value creation lens. We offer further thoughts on AI (including generative AI) from the board’s and the CFO’s point of view, and we bring the general counsel into the mix through an informative discussion on building legal operations… Blogs June 3, 2022 Webcast: Finding Cloud Cost Savings in Challenging Times While no one knows how long the pandemic will last, we do know that all organisations will experience some economic impact. Quarantines and the shutdown of many companies and local businesses during this crisis have put a large financial strain on almost every organisation in every industry. As we move beyond the immediate need to ensure the health and safety or employees, organisations need to… Podcast July 24, 2024 Podcast | Zero-Trust Post-Quantum Cryptography — with XSOC The migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is about to begin and is necessary to protect against the threats of fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, critical assets like those in military, banking, and government environments also require other layers of security and strategies such as zero trust and increased encryption bit sizes. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis as he discusses a… Podcast Transcript October 5, 2022 Transcript | Coding High Performance, Post-Quantum Secure Blockchain Systems In coding, libraries make developers’ lives easier, sparing them thousands of lines of code, while also increasing performance and security. And everyone’s concerned with security as fault-tolerant quantum computing approaches. Geometry Labs has released the “lattice-algebra” library to bring a high-performance cryptographic library to developers interested in using post-quantum cryptography in… Client Story May 8, 2020 Procure-to-pay transformation at offshore drilling company delivers savings of over $45 million An offshore drilling contractor with operations on six continents was experiencing extreme delays in the procurement of goods and services, which also created payment processing challenges and high transaction costs to issue purchase orders and process invoices for payment. The problem stemmed from inefficiencies across the entire procure-to-pay (P2P) process — procurement, receiving, accounts… Podcast July 23, 2025 Podcast | Open-Source Quantum Sensing at DEF CON — with Quantum Village DEF CON 33 approaches, bringing with it the fourth year of Quantum Village. Nothing like getting hands-on with quantum computing and sensing technology at the world’s leading hacking conference. To that end, this episode explores the open-source quantum sensing device and software that our guests Mark Carney and Victoria Kumaran are presenting in Vegas. And yes, for the third year in a row, host… Load More
