Mastering Post-Quantum Cryptography and AI-Driven Cyber Threats

Feb 4, 2026 By KnowBe4 | Human Risk Management In KnowBe4
The cybersecurity landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by two unstoppable forces: Generative AI and Shor’s Algorithm-capable Quantum Computing. As we approach "Q-Day," the window for organizations to transition to quantum-resistant architectures is closing. Modern threat actors are no longer just using brute force; they are utilizing Quantum-AI convergence to automate vulnerability discovery and bypass legacy encryption. This session provides a roadmap for transitioning from traditional cybersecurity to a Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) framework.

If you've passed a multiple-choice certification exam before, you might assume the CompTIA Security+ will be more of the same. You read the question, eliminate two obviously wrong answers, pick the best remaining option, and move on. Then you hit your first performance-based question. Suddenly you're staring at a simulated firewall interface, asked to configure ACL rules for a production web server. There's no A, B, C, or D. Just a blinking cursor and a timer counting down. This is where most Security+ candidates panic, and it's exactly why PBQs exist.

Top 7 SQL Courses That Build Real Query Skills for Data Jobs in 2026

SQL is still the skill hiring teams test first for analyst, BI, and data engineering roles. In 2026, it is not enough to know syntax. You need to think in joins, clean logic, and readable queries that others can maintain. The correct course should push practice, not passive watching. Look for guided projects, structured exercises, and reporting style questions that match what you will do on the job.

Jan 22, 2026 By John Just In KnowBe4
For those of you who are like me, when I first heard about the new EU AI Act, I had flashbacks to the implementation of the General Data Protection Act (GDPR) back in 2018. There are certainly a lot of similarities with the EU leading the way in consumer protections that will likely lead to more, similar legislation across the globe. I’m also reminded of the iPhone when it was introduced in the consumer market and bled into the workplace (I for one held onto my Blackberry for as long as I could).
