  • Episode 118 - Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Computing with Mark Russinovich
    Sep 19 2025

    In this episode Michael and Mark talk with guest Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow, Deputy CISO and Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Azure about quantum cryptography and quantum computing and its implications for security and the future.

    NOTE: There's a portion where Mark and Michael talk about a quote made by Richard Feynman about understanding technical topics, but this is actually attributed to Albert Einstein. However, there is no definitive record of Einstein writing or saying this exact phrase in his published works or speeches.

    We decided to not cover any Azure Security news in this episode.
