The cybersecurity industry is hurtling toward a massive collision of quantum computing, shrinking certificate lifespans, and an explosion of agentic AI, forcing organizations to rethink the very foundation of digital trust.

Hanspal breaks down her "CTO++" role and offers a pragmatic roadmap for CISOs struggling to balance the intense pressure of AI adoption with the critical need for cryptographic agility and verifiable machine identities.
