Can we build technology today to defend against the threats of tomorrow? This week, Technology Now concludes a double episode on post quantum cryptography and explores the subject of firmware, why it’s imperative that it be protected against quantum attacks and why a simple update can’t solve every problem. Nigel Edwards, Director of the Security Lab at HPE Labs, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About Nigel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nigel-edwards-170591/?originalSubdomain=ukSources: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/the-long-and-winding-history-of-encryption/423726/https://www.theqrl.org/blog/history-of-cryptography-behind-the-code-episode-1/https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/may/07/todays-ai-can-crack-second-world-war-enigma-code-in-short-order-experts-say
