Podcasts about Encryption

William Lyne of the UK's National Crime Agency joins us live at Infosecurity Europe to talk ransomware, AI threats, and the future of cybercrime disruption.When the UK's top cyber intelligence strategist sits down with you in London, you listen — and you hit record.At Infosecurity Europe 2025, the ITSPmagazine podcast team — Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin — sat down with William Lyne, Deputy Director and Head of Cyber Intelligence at the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA). This is the guy who not only leads cyber strategy for the NCA, but has also represented the UK at the FBI in the U.S. and now oversees national-level ransomware disruption efforts. It's not just a conversation — it's a rare front-row seat into how one of the world's most serious crime-fighting agencies is tackling ransomware 3.0.The message? Ransomware isn't just a cyber issue. It's a societal one. And it's evolving faster than we're prepared for — unless we change the game.“It went from niche to national threat fast,” Lyne explains. “The tools were always there. It just took a few threat actors to stitch them together.”From banking malware to fully operational cybercrime-as-a-service ecosystems, Lyne walks us through how the underground economy has industrialized. Ransomware isn't just about tech — it's about access, scale, and business models. And most importantly, it's no longer limited to elite coders or closed-door Russian-speaking forums. The barrier to entry is gone, and the dark web is wide open for business.Sean brings up the obvious: “Why does this still feel like we're always reacting?”Lyne responds: “We've shifted. We're going after the ecosystem — the people, the infrastructure, the business model — not just the payload.” That includes disrupting ransomware-as-a-service, targeting marketplaces, and yes, investing in preemptive intelligence.Marco flips the script by comparing today's cyber landscape to something deeply human. “Extortion is nothing new — we've just digitalized it. This is human behavior, scaled by tech.”From there, the conversation takes a future-facing turn. Deepfakes, AI-powered phishing, the commoditization of generative tools — Lyne confirms it's all on their radar. But he's quick to note that cybercriminals aren't bleeding-edge innovators. “They adopt when the ROI is right. But AI-as-a-service? That's coming. And it will reshape how efficient — and damaging — these threats become.”And then the real insight lands:“You can't wait to be a victim to talk to law enforcement. We may already have access to the infrastructure. The earlier we hear from you, the better we can act — and fast.”That kind of operational openness isn't something you heard from law enforcement five years ago. It signals a cultural shift — one where collaboration is not optional, it's essential.William also highlights the NCA's partnerships with private sector firms, academia, and international agencies, including the Kronos operation targeting LockBit infrastructure. These kinds of collaborations prove that when information moves, so does impact.Why does this matter?Because while most cybersecurity media gets stuck in product buzzwords and vendor hype, this is the real stuff — how ransomware groups behave, how law enforcement thinks, and how society can respond. It's not theory. It's strategy, lived on the front lines. 

What if the world's most trusted cryptographic systems could be broken in just minutes instead of centuries? In this thought-provoking episode of the Brilliance Security Magazine Podcast, David Close, Chief Solutions Architect at Futurex, joins host Steven Bowcut to discuss the very real—and rapidly accelerating—threat that quantum computing poses to modern encryption. With quantum advancements progressing faster than many expected, Close explains why organizations need to act now to safeguard long-term data, and how hybrid and agile cryptographic systems are the key to staying ahead.SummaryDavid Close opens the conversation by tracing his own journey from embedded firmware engineering to his current role leading cryptographic innovation at Futurex. He shares how his work with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)—specialized devices that securely manage encryption keys—laid the groundwork for Futurex's leadership in enterprise-grade encryption.The core of the episode centers on the quantum computing threat to current encryption standards like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. David breaks down the technical implications in accessible terms: quantum computers can solve problems exponentially faster than classical computers, meaning encryption methods that would take millennia to break with today's machines might be cracked in minutes by quantum processors.A key highlight is the concept of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later”—a tactic where attackers steal encrypted data today, intending to decrypt it once quantum technology matures. David emphasizes that this threat is not futuristic; it's already underway, with critical long-life data like medical records, financial information, and government secrets at risk.David outlines how Futurex and other leading organizations are proactively adapting. For example, Google and Cloudflare have already implemented hybrid cryptography using both classical and quantum-safe algorithms. Futurex is doing the same across its suite of HSMs and key management solutions, supporting new standards ratified by NIST (including Kyber and Dilithium) and enabling “crypto agility”—the ability to quickly adopt new encryption standards without overhauling infrastructure.He also shares how Futurex is helping clients through cryptographic discovery, which allows organizations to identify where and how cryptography is being used across their environments. This step is essential for prioritizing risk areas and laying a foundation for a secure, phased migration to post-quantum cryptography.Finally, David stresses that while the quantum threat is real and imminent, organizations shouldn't panic—but they must act now. The transition to post-quantum cryptography is already underway, and those who prepare today will be far more secure and resilient tomorrow.

How do we prepare our cybersecurity for a post quantum world? This week, Technology Now explores how security experts are looking to future-proofing their work. We will examine the hurdles to post-quantum security, the underlying ways in which our data is protected, and we will be delving into the underground world of “harvest now, decrypt later”. Dr Sarah McCarthy tells us more. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Živé Podhoubí o technologiích a americké politice se natáčelo ve výstavě Poetics of Encryption. Současné technologie nejsou jako nástroje, které mají člověku usnadnit život. Stávají se čím dál víc svébytným ekosystémem, který se bez člověka obejde. Ideové směry jako akceleracionismus, technooptimismus nebo neorekcionářství s rapidním technologickým vývojem počítají, mnohdy ale na úkor demokracie. Člověk má být překonán, případně kolonizovat další planety.
