Jaya Baloo on the Future of Cyber Threats and Human Trust

My guest today is Jay Baloo, who is Singularity University's fellow for computing and cybersecurity. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on what “lawful surveillance” really means… how quantum computing could break the encryption we all rely on… and why the biggest vulnerability might not be technological… but human.Because when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not just the algorithms that matter. It’s our willingness  or unwillingness to change.Jaya helps us understand what’s coming and what leaders, policymakers, and everyday users can do right now to prepare. We cover deepfakes, digital trust, AI-assisted attacks, and the steps we can all take to defend our future.Whether you’re a technologist, an executive, or just someone trying to keep your data safe, this episode will challenge the way you think about digital security and remind you why our future resilience depends as much on people as it does on code.Jaya has been in the cybersecurity realm for two decades, widely acknowledged as one of the top 100 Chief Information Security Officers, or CISOs. She was a CISO for KPN Telecom, a vast Chief Security Officer for Rapid7. She's been a COO now for a stealth mode AI and cybersecurity startup. So interested to hear if there's any hints we can get about that.Just previously, the vice chair of the EU Commission's Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, which was a $1 billion effort to understand the key opportunities and challenges of our quantum future. Interested to hear more about that. And there's Internet Security Trainer for Bankers Trust, Technical Security Specialist for Trans Telecom, and a practice lead for Lawful Interception for Verizon. https://www.su.org/experts/jaya-baloo https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaya-baloo-558492/
