#003: Preparing AWS Workloads for the Post‑Quantum World – Part 1

March 20, 2026 · 20 min

Show notes

In this episode, Pradeep Rao speaks about the emerging post‑quantum risk to cloud‑based cryptography and what it means for AWS‑hosted workloads. This Podcast focuses on the real‑world impact of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, the exposure of long‑lived encrypted data, and how AWS is embedding post‑quantum cryptography into foundational services such as AWS KMS, AWS Certificate Manager, CloudFront, and Secrets Manager. Part 1 establishes the security and risk context, clarifies shared responsibility, and outlines how post‑quantum readiness should be approached as a cloud security architecture decision—not a future crisis response.
