Episode 308 Deep Dive: Samuel Tseitkin | The “Golden” Age of Cybersecurity: The Quantum Era
byKBI.Media

In this episode, we sit down with Samuel Tseitkin, Founder of ExiQuantum, as he explores the profound impact of the quantum era on cybersecurity. Samuel explains the basics of quantum computing, highlighting how quantum bits (qubits) differ from classical bits, and delves into the unique opportunities and challenges quantum technology presents. The discussion covers quantum’s unparalleled ability to solve complex optimization problems, its looming threat to existing cryptographic systems, and the exponential pace of change reminiscent of AI breakthroughs. Samuel also addresses industry skepticism, the importance of early preparation, and crypto agility in the face of pending quantum advancements. We examine real-world efforts by tech giants and governments, potential timelines for widespread adoption, and the promise of a “golden age” of cybersecurity where quantum may ultimately bolster defenses against cyber threats.

Samuel Tseitkin is a passionate advocate for emerging technologies, with a strong foundation in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. During his university years, he co-founded the Artificial Intelligence Student Society (AISSOC), a hub for students collaborating on AI projects, where he contributed to and facilitated multiple initiatives.

After completing his Cybersecurity studies at Monash University, Samuel became deeply interested in quantum computing and its implications for digital security. Recognising the urgent need to adapt cybersecurity strategies for a post-quantum world, he founded ExeQuantum to not only raise awareness of the quantum threat but also provide cutting-edge cryptographic solutions.

Since then, Samuel has established himself as a thought leader in post-quantum cybersecurity, delivering lectures, leading panels, and driving discussions across Australia’s top innovation and technology hubs, including Stone & Chalk, the University of Melbourne, and Monash University. His mission is clear: to ensure businesses and institutions are prepared for the next era of digital security.
