Post-quantum migration looks like a technology problem from the outside. Inside a global financial institution, it looks like a coordination challenge. In this episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, host Jo Lintzen speaks with Sarah McCarthy, Quantum Readiness Program Lead at Citi.
Sarah shares how Citi's quantum readiness program has evolved since 2022, what their vendor survey is revealing about supply chain readiness, and why the first step toward quantum safety does not require a dedicated team or advanced algorithms. She also explains why migrating to PQC is fundamentally a coordination problem and what practical steps any organization can take today, regardless of size.
