In this interview from Black Hat 2026, José Rosas-Bustos, chief executive officer of EigenQ, joins theCUBE's Krista Case to discuss why crypto agility, not quantum computing itself, is the real challenge enterprises must solve before looming 2027 compliance deadlines. Rosas-Bustos explains why "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks are accelerating urgency across regulated industries, even as awareness remains uneven. He details how EigenQ applies quantum photonics research to harden compute infrastructure at the hardware level, arguing that fixing a single cipher is a Band-Aid rather than a durable defense against evolving post-quantum threats.
The conversation explores EigenQ's OEM partnership with Intel and HPE, which embeds quantum-resistant technology directly into server infrastructure already deployed at scale, avoiding disruptive rip-and-replace projects. Rosas-Bustos notes the solution is commercially available today, with about 47 proof-of-concept deployments underway ahead of broader commercialization. He walks through practical first steps for security leaders pursuing quantum-readiness assessments, emphasizing that inventory alone doesn't drive decisions — organizations must weigh how long sensitive data needs protection and what happens if it's compromised years from now. Drawing parallels to the multi-year cryptographic transitions of the early 2000s, he warns that today's compressed timelines demand faster, more dynamic approaches such as hardware reconfiguration and over-the-air updates. From budget justification to board-level accountability, Rosas-Bustos offers a clear roadmap for building lasting crypto agility rather than one-time fixes.
