What you'll learn
Eric Amador, a Product Manager at Thales, recognized that organizations struggle to find clear, actionable details on post-quantum preparation. To address this gap, he launched an open initiative that helps security teams simulate post-quantum protocols instantly. The platform uses AI to summarize complex document updates from IETF volunteers and standard bodies such as NIST. By focusing on education and awareness, the platform helps security leaders build a business case for crypto-agility before engaging with commercial vendors.
Eric Amador brings years of hands-on product experience across multiple industries, guiding technical professionals and executives through cryptographic transitions. He currently manages product strategies at Thales while running open-source initiatives to democratize quantum-safe security tools.
