🚀 Why Cryptography Became a “Closed Door” Career 🚀

For decades, RSA was the go-to algorithm. It was so effective and versatile that innovation in cryptography slowed, and many bright young minds chose other fields. In the latest episode of Shielded: The Last Line of Cyber Defense, Bruno Couillard reflects on how the stability of RSA shaped careers and why that’s changing now: ✅ RSA’s dominance made cryptography look “finished” to a generation of talent ✅ Innovation slowed while cloud, AI, and quantum pulled new engineers away ✅ The quantum era is forcing cryptography back into the spotlight as a vital career path As Bruno explains: “We had this phenomenally good algorithm called RSA that you could use for so many use cases. What that meant is a lot of younger generation of bright people decided cryptography is not a career path.” 🎧 Tune in to hear why the next wave of innovation in cryptography is just beginning: YouTube: https://youtu.be/pD3L0YFypOQ Spotify: https://bit.ly/48Vzl1o Apple: https://apple.co/43cEXR8 #CyberSecurity #PostQuantum #PQC #CryptoAgility #ShieldedPodcast
