In this World Quantum Day special edition of This Week in NET, host João Tomé is joined by Bas Westerbaan (Principal Research Engineer) and Sharon Goldberg (Senior Director, Product) to explain why the timeline for post-quantum cryptography may be arriving sooner than expected. Recent research suggests the number of qubits required to break today’s encryption could fall dramatically, accelerating the urgency for companies and the Internet ecosystem to migrate to post-quantum security. Google has set a 2029 migration target, and Cloudflare is working toward a similar timeline.

For decades, enterprise IT relied on a “hub and spoke” security model. But between the explosion of cloud infrastructure, SaaS apps and a remote workforce, that old perimeter hasn't just cracked—it’s shattered. In an attempt to stay on top of the advancing perimeter, many different solutions from many vendors entered the market and created a "spaghetti mess" of point solutions that drive up costs and tank user experience. Cloudflare is an answer to this problem, delivering everything you need to secure your apps, networks, users, data and devices.

Humair from Cloudflare walks through the details of how Cloudflare's AI Security for Apps secures AI-powered applications. Learn how Cloudflare can discover AI/LLM endpoints and detect and mitigate AI-specific threats like PII exposure, unsafe/toxic content, prompt injection and jailbreak. Learn more.
