Brandon sat down with FS-ISAC Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer Mike Silverman to unpack the Building Cryptographic Agility white paper and what financial institutions must do now to prepare for post-quantum threats.

Key topics

• FS-ISAC’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Working Group lays out how to inventory algorithms, escrow keys, and prioritize crown-jewel datasets before quantum harvesters arrive.

• Brandon and Mike translated the guidance into board-level milestones—data classification, crypto-agile architectures, and procurement playbooks that keep trusted payments moving.

• They also highlighted talent and vendor governance gaps that still keep most banks from rotating algorithms at cloud speed.
