## Resource

In this enlightening episode, hosts Frank La Vigne and Candace Gillhoolley are joined by Benita Zazueta, a leader in quantum-safe initiatives at IBM and a doctoral candidate exploring the intersection of quantum risk and supply chain resilience. Together, the team tackles the looming threat posed by fault tolerant quantum computers—those machines capable of cracking today's encryption and altering the balance of cybersecurity. Benita Zazueta breaks down complex concepts like “harvest now, decrypt later,” and explains how business leaders, not just researchers and engineers, must prepare for a quantum future. The conversation covers practical strategies for organizations to assess vulnerabilities, foster quantum talent, and transform their security posture without causing panic. Whether you’re a seasoned technologist, a curious executive, or just starting your quantum journey, this episode delivers actionable insights, fascinating anecdotes, and critical leadership lessons from the front lines of quantum innovation. Tune in and discover how to build resilience, not just protection, in the age of quantum breakthroughs!
